About Coverage & Data Quality . . . Bed Coverage: CoCs must have at least 50% HMIS bed coverage in at least one AHAR reporting category Bed Utilization: Accurate provider bed counts and timely entry/exits for all clients served during the AHAR reporting period are essential . . . Missing entries result in an under-count of persons served; this and/or higher than accurate bed counts result in low bed utilization rates (65% or under = usability error on HDX) Missing exits exaggerate client counts; this and/or lower than accurate bed counts produce high bed utilization rates (105% or over = usability error) Data Completeness: High percentages of missing data can disqualify submission . . . Disability, veterans status and prior living situation are typical challenge areas Provider Pages: Missing or wrong program type codes will skew data pulling into reports and adversely affect client counts and bed utilization
