Re: How to best implement registries

 

Dear Knut,

If the purpose of data collection is for reporting through counts of number
visiting and services in a given period and no interest in longitudinal
follow up then they can go without registration.

And as you suggest for non numeric data elements (findings, medicine....)
need option sets, to build program indicators to be used on dashboard.

Regards
