Dear community, I would like to know if it is possible to link a patient to two capture programs, that is, the patient enters a forest fire monitoring program (1) and is then referred to a shelter. What we want to do is The patient is registered in the shelter program (2) when he or she becomes involved in the wildfire program.
We understand that for this you must use Relationship Type Management, but the documentation is not clear, any information on this?
Welcome to the community!
It is possible for a TEI to be enrolled in more than one tracker program, but why would it be necessary to create a relationship with the same TEI? The TEI will have a list of all the programs they are enrolled in.
Usually relationships are created between different entities and not the same entity. In the configuration of both programs they need to be added as ‘related program’ in the Enrollment details, and after that it will be possible to connect TEIs across different programs using relationship. An example of this is the mother-child relationship where both different type of TEIs are connected to each other and need different type of care, so the question is if it is the same individual why would we create a relationship?
