Mahundi et al Can we not apply this to OUR Tanzania data elements, which have different data elements for IPD and OPD , acute and chronic
Working with different data elements with same meaning is driving me MAD e.g. 70 (or more) examples such as - Diabetes Mellitus (ear infection acute, ear infection chronic etc etc etc ) in OPD - Diabetes Mellitus in IPD *Why can we not have the same disease in two separate datasets??* Is it not possible to combine these?
