                         ATO      Work~oad

     Data on ATC workload is incomplete.    Many SME's did not mai:Lta~JL data
once patient counts were reported to the ATH.      ATH's did not repKt ATC
workloads separately. Stipported populations continued to grow through~ the
deployment.  Some SME1s may hav~ counted immunizations or oth~ "reees i~
their patient visit totals while others~did not.
