This site is a resource for all CIRS users. The topics cover a range of subjects related to using the compendium and writing ad hoc reports. New topics are added to the CIRS website at the beginning of each month and are based on calls to the CIRS Hotline, user suggestions, and staff comments. The topics are cross-referenced in the Table of Contents for ease of use and are retained until they are incorporated into the CIRS User Manual and Data Element Dictionary, or until they are no longer relevant.
Here are some tips and hints for using this site:
