Graphical display of the time in quarters from a hospital's agreement to participate in the survey until survey completion. Percentages of hospital participants are shown based upon the survey type, including the Administrative Survey (black bars, N = 27), Infection Control Survey (hatched bars, N = 26), and Microbiology Laboratory Survey (white bars, N = 13 laboratories serving 31 hospitals). Of those agreeing to participate, 2 hospitals did not complete the Administrative Survey, 1 hospital did not complete the Infection Control Survey, and 3 laboratories did not complete the Microbiology Laboratory Survey.
