Derived from this finding, the positive impact of prospective epidemiological surveillance through implementation of a comprehensive quality improvement plan (CQIP) during the following year was demonstrated 61 . The classical epidemiological approach of case association limits the identification of outbreaks that might go unnoticed.…”
