I would like to calculate the rate total weight gain of each child by
comparin the lowest recorded weiht to the heihest recorded weiht.
What is the best way to keep track of each weight recorded throughout the 5
or 6 visits each patient may make once admitted into the feedinn programmes?
Can I achieve this efficiently by linkin each visit to the discharge form
so i can access the weight from each vsit and then use the min function for
all weights recorded.
Is there an easier alternative?? Like for example, can I save each recorded
weight to a hidden value in the parent module then i retrieve min of all
saved values once im in the discharge module / form?
It sounds like the easiest option available would be to keep tracking on
the Case representing the child the highest_weight and lowest_weight values
which were recorded during any given visit, and to overwrite the existing
value if the current weight recorded is higher or lower respectively.
That would let you create the interaction you are looking for without
needing to keep track of each weight individually.
CommCare is capable of tracking each previous measurement (which would
allow the use of min() and max()) , but setting up such a structure is
quite complex, since you need to use an addition set of "Child Cases" for
each person in your system.
