Hi. For the peru study interface that I build, each household was given the same ID as the index tuberculosis case that was used to enroll the rest of the household in the study.
So, if you substitute head of household with index case, your model is the same model essentially, and this piece of the study has stood up pretty well through thousands of enrollments. The alternative, I think, would be to write a 'household' module, with a household table, and probably a person--> household join table. And a little API to manage this. d On Fri, Aug 5, 2011 at 4:23 PM, Andrew Kanter <[email protected]> wrote: > I wonder if someone could give me the latest status on capturing household > metadata within openMRS.
