Introduction
INSPECT what you EXPECT.
It's a phrase that we love to use and for good reason. If you're not inspecting what you're expecting you are missing out on two important things; firstly, you won't know when you are close to your target. Secondly, you have no way of qualifying whether the decisions you make are the best ones for your business. In other words, it is being able to map where each center sits against your expected best practice standards.
The reports provide a visual representation of your overall business results based on certain checklists criteria, with each report looking at the results from a slightly different perspective. It is in a way a 'To-do' list as the results provide a list of strong areas and areas which need more improvement or investment. This article will give you a brief overview of the main reports that you will use. The reports are available both on the web portal, which enables real time visibility and can be emailed to you on a set schedule as well.
Different types of Reports
There are five different types of reports that you will mainly see:
- Completion Report

As we understand that you are busy, we email the reports to you so that you can view them on the go. When you view the reports on the web portal, the reports become more interactive as you are able to change the date range and add or amend the widgets to investigate different aspects of the report.
