Hi everyone,

I wanted to bring up a potential enhancement for HMIS reporting that could improve the accuracy and efficiency of service data tracking. During a recent review of our reporting processes, we identified a need for clearer aggregate totals in the Service Summary and Service Census reports to reduce manual calculations and improve data usability.

Here are two possible enhancements that could benefit many HMIS users:

1.) Modify the Service Summary Report – Add aggregate totals at the bottom, similar to how the Service Census report presents its data. This would make it easier to quickly summarize services provided without manually summing individual line items.

2.) Enhance the Service Census Report – Separate the number of services provided from the number of service days, ensuring both totals are clearly displayed at the bottom. This distinction would improve reporting accuracy for agencies that need to track both the issuance of services and their duration.

These enhancements would streamline reporting and reduce the likelihood of misinterpretation when analyzing service delivery data. If you think this would be a valuable update, please vote and comment to share how it could benefit your organization!

Looking forward to your thoughts!
