In May 2003, investigators were trained and prevalence pilot study was conducted at the University Hospital of Tirana, Albania. Investigators were trained to assess the organizational problems of the first prevalence survey of nosocomial infections (NIs) in Albania. Twelve investigators were trained in 2 days. After the training, the pilot study was conducted in 3 wards. The investigators collected data using a standard form and the definitions of the Centers for Disease Control, USA. The training improved the investigators' knowledge of NI epidemiology and surveillance. The pilot study underlined the lack of information in the clinical documentation and lack of collaboration between clinicians and the laboratory: microbiological examinations were performed only in 13 (16.5%) patients and none of the 11 NIs reported was confirmed in the laboratory. This led to a review of the survey protocol, above all in order to increase the use of microbiological laboratory.
2003年5月，在地拉那大学医院（阿尔巴尼亚）对调查人员进行了培训，并开展了患病率试点研究。培训调查人员以评估阿尔巴尼亚首次医院感染（NI）患病率调查的组织问题。在两天内对12名调查人员进行了培训。培训结束后，在3个病房开展了试点研究。调查人员使用标准表格及美国疾病控制中心的定义收集数据。培训提高了调查人员对医院感染流行病学和监测的认识。试点研究突显了临床文档中信息的缺乏以及临床医生与实验室之间缺乏协作：仅对13名（16.5%）患者进行了微生物学检查，报告的11例医院感染中无一例在实验室得到确诊。这导致对调查方案进行审查，尤其是为了增加微生物实验室的使用。
