This is totally possible. You may have the same data element being
collected on two separate aggregation forms. Instead of creating two
data elements to represent the same thing, you just need to place the
same data element in two separate datasets. If you have "Total
attendance" at both the Hospital and Health center level, then you
might have two sepererate datasets (Hospital and PHC), with some data
elements which are different, some which are common.

Best practice is to try and consolidate as many data elements as you
can across the different service levels, as in practice, we have seen
that they may be named differently at different service levels, but
actually represent the same occurrence.

Regards,
Jason
