Reporting challenges Timeliness and quality of source data and estimates Inconsistent terminology Changing collection requirements Implementation cost & resistance to change Variant of Pareto’s 80-20 postulate: 80% of effort in reporting goes into dealing with the 20% of the data that is not already well-structured and organized in a stable, widely used format
