Is there a better variable I could poll for this information?
Reason: There is some information I want to display on the dataset that changes based on organization, and I would rather not make an individual dataset for each organization and assign them. Once I get the OrgID with the above method, I use $.getJSON to query the Web API:
I assume you are doing this in the data entry module. A bit hard to say without knowing exactly what kind of information you need, but to me this looks like a perfectly viable way of retrieving org unit info. That org unit request is quite cheap.

Quick question:
Is there a way to query the current Organization ID from a dataset? I found the following, and it works:

Yes, this is in the Data Entry module (I’m putting the code into the custom dataset feature).
Yup, the JSON works like a charm and I am glad I am using it correct. My worry is that in version 2.15, or 2.16 and beyond, someone might change the dhis2.de.currentOrganisationUnitId. This would break the script and prevent any queries to JSON, as I wouldn’t have access to the OrgID anymore.
The reason for all of this is to mimic the paper forms as close as possible. It might be a bit overkill, but it is also teaching me a lot about DHIS2 in the process. See the attached/inline image for a visual:
