What would result in data that provides estimates with variance equivalent to that of APAIS?
Variety of ways:
Some examples…
Current number of devices, Current level of reporting, we
improve our matching, ~ quadruple verification sample size
Double number of devices, current level of reporting but
make it accurate, increase APAIS sample by about 75%
Current number of devices, 100% reporting, reporting
accuracy at current level, increase verification sample by about 40%

Challenges
- Participation
- Initial/Ongoing
- Calibration - Coverage/Compliance/Variance
- Feedback
SLIDE 17
Lessons Learned
- Trip definition essential - preferably automatic
- KISS important - add wants incrementally
- High level of proactive communications required
- Expect the unexpected
