Should information on the Demographic Information Form (DIF) correspond to the 24 months prior to submission of documentation that we use for our document?
As much as possible, you should work to line up the data timelines. However, there is often a time lag in reports being disseminated, and there are also constraints on data collection timelines that the organization cannot control (for example, data submission is required on a certain date). Some organizations use different data collection processes and have different timetables for reports. The data submitted should be from the time period closest to document submission that is consistent with your organizations’ data systems.
