Clone sample when creating a case from a pathogen result for a different disease than the source case/contact/event participant

[bernardsilenou]

Feature Description

• When a contact is converted to a case, the disease of the resulting case is emphasized, thus it is fine that the contact and resulting case can referenced the same sample and final lab result. However,
• When a case of disease B is created based on a result of a positive test from a sample of: a case of disease A or an event participant of an event of disease A or a contract to a case of disease A, then both resting case and source entity should not share the sample sample. Because,
• When you open case B and set the final lab classification to positive, then this gets updated on the same sample for case A, thus classifying A based on results of B.

  Problem Description

Proposed Change

• While cloning the sample, create a new sample with same sample information
• both samples should share the same sample information, pathogen tests additional tests but not the same final lat result
• editing final lab result from one entity should not edit the other

  Possible Alternatives

• create a new identical twin sample + pathogen test

@MateStrysewske @kwa20 @Candice-Louw This in not a bug but I think if fall in the same category of urgency.

@bernardsilenou In think converting an event participant or contact to a case with a disease other than the disease the person as a contact or event participant was exposed to should not be done in the first place because it doesn't make sense, does it?

[bernardsilenou]

@kwa20 Yea, this should not be possible and I think that is the current implementation. You are allowed to create a new case of another disease without converting the ep to a case but by having a pathogen test of another disease. when this happen then the final classification of the sample should no longer be referenced by both cases.

@kwa20 The problem is not that you can convert a case, contact or event participant to a case with a different disease, but that if you create a positive pathogen test result for a case, contact or event participant with a different disease, the system asks you whether you want to create a case for this person with the disease of the pathogen test, and doing that will create a case that will reference the same sample as the case/contact/event participant.

@bernardsilenou I don't know whether cloning can be an option because that would lead to multiple samples with the same lab sample ID in the database. MAYBE that's not a problem though because they will always be for different diseases, so I guess we could go with this solution.
