What is a gather?
In Collector you use a gather to create reports on different subsets of patients. In many other programs, this is called a cross-tab procedure. For example, if you want to create a list of patient names, ED Arrival times and discharge times, but you wanted to do this separately for the last 4 quarters, you could run the same report 4 different times. Alternatively, you could create a gather based on quarter. Using the gather, all for 4 quarters would be included in one report, but in 4 discrete sections.
