[Stephen Gbanyan <mambu9@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

Thanks for the prompt response.  I am creating a custom form for our
teaching hospital and want to include all the current data elements and new
elements that are only applicable to the hospital so I want to be sure of
that before doing such.

Thanks

Stephen
