Arthur,
Why not have a single data element for

 Diabetes Mellitus

with category option combination

(Inpatient/Outpatient)/(ear infection acute, ear infection chronic etc etc etc)

and only have certain data element/category options in the IP form and
certain data element/category options in the OPD form?

Regards,
Jason
