Comparative Patient Net Demand Report
Introduction
The comparative unconstrained patient net demand report shows the quantity of kits forecasted to be allocated to patients in multiple scenarios over time. If forecast calculations with RTSM data extracts are included in the comparison, the comparative patient demand report shows actual data according to the RTSM extract data and forecasted data according to the scenario specification.
Among others, the comparative patient demand report can be used to verify whether patient demand has progressed as forecasted by comparing:
the forecasted patient demand in a forecast calculation run earlier with
the corresponding actual data in a forecast calculation run at a later point in time.
