Although paper systems are prone to error and require enormous amounts of time to prepare analytical data, they are still better than nothing. Systems such as these can deliver huge savings by essence of ability to collect accurate data in a timely fashion, and most often having the option to provide comprehensive analysis tools. Data management, analysis, initiating action and decision-making are roles that need to be refined and defined. All the data and analytical insight is useless without designated leadership and action. Clear roles, support staffing, and personnel designations lead to productive, efficient action.
Redundancy can be safe, but vagueness as to assigned responsibility most often is counterproductive.
