Dear Nils,

Thanks.

I would suggest that you use an Event with registration if you are going to
achieve this "A multi step workflow would be helpful, for example to track
the deployment of a field investigation team or the confirmation of a
sample at a lab". Otherwise an event with out registration would be
sufficient though it will not support multiple stages.

This requirement is more similar to the Rwanda IDSR use case where cases
are tracked, status of case is updated (referrals, died, etc), lab and lab
results are also managed and tracked. The use case is implemented using the
events with registration (multiple stages) for all notifiable diseases.
There have been discussions with the DHIS2 core team to integrate most of
the functionality within the core DHIS2 (thresholds, etc) and this is
ongoing. Also there is an ongoing testing of reference metadata for Rwanda
and other reference IDSR use cases which will be implemented on the
reference system (similar to DHIS2 demo) for other IDSR implementations.

Thanks.

Alex
