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 ( etc)  in IPD

*Why can we not have the same disease in two separate datasets??*

Is it not possible to combine these?

Regards
Arthur
