terminology in DHIS2) a patient to multiple programs. For this to happen
all your programs should have the same tracked entity. In addition, if by
chance you are registering a patient without selecting a program, then you
should select the same tracked entity that you assigned to your programs.

Also, since you wanted some details of a patient to appear for all your
programs, you need to create a list of attributes and assign them to your
programs. An attribute filled during program A enrollment/registration will
appear for program B.

for example what kind of report/analysis/output are you expecting?

Yes, you can use a relationship and relate a patient with one or more
doctors or any other tracked entity instance for that matter (could even be
a patient). But the relationship here is at the level of tracked entity
instance not program - meaning a doctor you linked to your patient during
program A will appear when you open program B details of the same patient.
Is this what you want?

I think the best here is for you to provide us more details on what you
wanted to do with providers? what kind and how many stage do you have per
program? are you expecting the same provider for the entire program?
