Summary UK experience (i)

• Advantages
• A big improvement over the existing CRF
• Sector experts can complete their own parts of
  the CRF and submit to the NIC reduces
  transcription errors
• More internal checks that the existing CRF so
  better QC of data prior to submission
• CRF Reporter helpdesk works!
• Limitations
• Need to install the software and re-install
  each time there is a revision
• Less transparency when trying to trace
  aggregation errors

Summary UK experience (ii)

• Time and planning to implement
• Some work needed to learn how to use the Reporter
  and check output
• check emissions in CRF Reporter agree with your
  last submission
• importing notes from the old CRF might be time
  consuming
• training of sector experts to use the tool
• Allow yourself time to become familiar with the
  software
• Start as soon as you can!!
