sheets for each facility and the median, maximum, minimum, 25th, and 75th percentile<br />

values for all the facilities <strong>to</strong>gether.<br />

Data summarization and report creation<br />

The consolidation workbook contains a sheet ‘Summary’ that, as its name suggests, collates<br />

and organizes information from the other worksheets in the consolidation workbook. Data<br />

here are grouped and formatted in tables in preparation for inclusion in a report. A report<br />

document is available with a predefined structure and placeholders for these tables, as<br />

linked data and for reminders and suggestions <strong>of</strong> things useful <strong>to</strong> include in the report <strong>to</strong><br />

assist the authors in the timely production <strong>of</strong> a presentable report - see Appendix 4. It is<br />

advised that the consolidation tasks are completed prior <strong>to</strong> working on the report.<br />

In addition Chapter 10 provides guidance on the report production part <strong>of</strong> the process.<br />
