Lessons Learned from 2011-12• A significant amount of time & effort is required
to complete the collections: you need to start early
• If you didn’t participate in the 2011-12 collection and are reporting for the first time, contact your Data Collection Support Specialist!
• Cross validations between the systems require that SIMS, EPIMS & SCS collections are closely coordinated
• Data quality needs improvement - new rules and cross validations are uncovering issues that were not apparent in the past
• Validation & cross validation rules are constantly being refined
