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
