Considerations
- Minimize the number of data sets used and the number of variables in each data set
- Transform variables as needed for planned Tables and Charts (e.g., recoded variables, calculated variables)
- Create filters as needed for specific Tables
- Utilize "Output Intervals" to consolidate encounters
- Most common - First and Last visit only
- Limit the encounters included in data to only those needed
