Track and analyze quarterly and annual trends over time in graphical formats, and maintain related tables and spreadsheets on the IPAC shared drive;
Compile and analyze data collected from audits related to personal protective equipment;
Respond to additional specific data requests from IPAC team members and other internal stakeholders, including the preparation of graphs and tables in PowerPoint slides;
