CHCS reports designed for a specific purpose by military treatment facility personnel are called

• A. Special Reports
• B. Customized Reports
• C. AD HOC Reports
• D. PAD Reports

Answer: (C)

Ad hoc reports are on-demand, purpose-specific outputs created by military treatment facility personnel to answer a particular question or satisfy a unique informational need. In CHCS, this type of reporting is used when standard, routine reports don’t cover the exact data, timeframe, or filters required for a specific task, so staff tailor the report to fit that one-off objective. The flexibility to pick the exact data fields, date ranges, and patient groups makes this the best match for a report designed for a specific purpose by the facility.

Other report types are generally predefined or routine in nature, not created to address a single, unique question on the fly.
