Click [Run Report] to create the report.

The notice "Report is being generated" may appear momentarily while the report is being prepared. The report will then appear on screen.

There are three parts (labeled as "pages") for the report:

1. Number of Referrals Received by VA Facility
2. Number of Referrals by Risk Category
3. Referrals by Status and Average Number of Days Between Referral and Triage

You can use the navigation controls at the top of the report to move from one part ("page") of the report to another. These are essentially the same controls found on any portable document format (PDF) page. You can also use the control to export the report to a format of your choice. See 13.1.2 below for details.
