Creating, Navigating, and Exporting Reports

Report Types

There are four types of reports available in NRDR:

• Published Aggregate Reports compare facility performance with registry and regional statistics (e.g. sites of similar type, location, census region/division) and national registry benchmarks. Reports are produced quarterly and semi-annually so that sufficient data are available for benchmarking, and they are posted on the NRDR site in PDF and Excel format. Users are notified, via e-mail, when aggregate reports are loaded and ready.

• Interactive Aggregate Reports also compare facility data with registry and regional statistics, but are available on an ad hoc basis. Reports have some interactive features, such as dynamic filtering to change data aggregation, and are generally formatted for download to .CSV or .PDF formats.

• Online Reports allow registry users to query and review data, on an ad hoc basis, for their facility. Most reports have filters to help users restrict results using specific criteria.

• Interactive Reports allow users to query data and gain additional insight through filtering, hovering, and drill-down interactions.

Accessing Aggregate Reports

Published Aggregate Reports and Interactive Aggregate Reports are available via the Aggregate Reports menu item on the NRDR Homepage Facility Management menu.

For more information on Aggregate Reports consult the registry folders in Understanding Your Reports.

Creating Online Reports

To create an Online Report, click on the report name under the Reports menu for that registry. 

Use the report filter to specify criteria for the report. Users may only view data from their own

facility so the Facility ID and Name populate automatically and cannot be changed. Click the Submit button to generate the report as an HTML document in a new browser window.

Navigating and Printing Online Reports

The report navigation tools are located in the upper left corner of the report window. Hover over a button to see its function.

To print a report, click the printerbutton.

To zoom in or out of a report, select a scale percent from the drop-down menu.

Exporting Online Reports

To export a report in Excel format, click the Export to Excel 97-2000 button in the toolbar at the top of the page.

To export a report in another format, click the diskbutton. The export options window appears.

Select from the formats listed, enter the page range to be exported, and click Export to generate the file.

If you want to create a spreadsheet that is suitable for printing or data manipulation, use the first option, Microsoft Excel (97-2003), shown above.
