lists– Only enrolled pts appear on lists– Metrics reflect only data through the enrollment

date• User Entered Data (updated nightly)

Why are metrics only updated monthly?

• Metrics are tied to enrollment • Enrollment information released from DEERS

monthly • Metrics only reflect tests or encounters that

occurred prior to that end enrollment date– We don’t know if pt enrolled after that date

• Indentifying patients for lists based on encounter/enrollment data up to that end enrollment date
