Conceptual flow of the AutoMated tool for Antimicrobial resistance Surveillance System (AMASS). Step 1 (download the AMASS) and step 3 (configure data dictionary files) are one-time steps. Step 2 (obtain data), step 4 (run the AMASS), step 5 (review report), and step 6 (share report) are ongoing steps that users could repeat regularly (ie, monthly or quarterly). *Two data dictionary files (in Excel format) are provided to allow the application to understand how variables and values of each variable are named in the raw data files in different settings. Those data dictionary files can be reused in the subsequent runs of the AMASS, as long as how variables and values of each variable are named in the raw data files remain the same. Details on how to configure the data dictionary can be found in Figure 2 and Multimedia Appendix 6. **The antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance report and summary data generated contain no patient identifiable information. The decision to share the report and summary data to national or international AMR organizations is solely up to the jurisdiction of the hospital.
