Remaining Issues on Diarrhoea Module

[tbhallett]

Here is a set of things to do in subsequent PRs (tick off as we go):

• PR1: Updated and annotated ResourceFile
• PR2: On the basis of those new parameters, refine calibration (using the ‘adjustment_factor’ primarily – and also perhaps risk of hospitalisation) *PR3: Satisfy queries in the remaining ‘todo’ items
• PR4: Incorporate rotavirus.
• PR5: Updated document

Hi @tbhallett - are these suppose to be small individual pull requests or can I commit each change and submit as one PR? I am not sure how to do PR2?

[tbhallett]

Thanks Ines. Easiest would be a separate PR for each. We can review a single change in one PR much more easily then several things changing together.

Ok re PR2; we can discuss. Basically nothing may need to be done but we need to check how the calibrations look.

Hi @inesll and @timcolbourn -- shall I close this down? Is PR3 not needed as you agree with the current implementations?

Hi @tbhallett - sorry I started on ALRI and forgot this PR3 - I will work on it from Monday

Thanks @inesll! No urgency from my -- just wanted to see if the issue could be closed or not. Happy to talk about changes next week if useful.

Following discussion, we have agreed re PR3 that the remaining to-do items are completed (i.e. no change is necessary) , but we need to make a minor refinement to the footprints implied in the treatment HSI.

• Patients may attend with diarrhoea at level 0 or level 1 (1a) -- this is something that is handled in the healthseekingbehaviour module but we need to check that this is happening correctly and raise an issue if not.
• When the generic_first_appt_appointment is at level 0, a referral is made for the assessment/treatment in HSI_Diarrhoea_Treatment_Outpatient to take place at level 1a (at which ORS is provided etc).
• When the generic_first_appt_appointment is at level 1, the assessment can take place in the same appointment (i.e., that the HSI_Diarrhoea_Treatment_Outpatient should manifest no additional footprint and occur on the same day)
• We should not that an implicit assumption in all of this is that the proportion of persons referred who attend the appointment is 100%.

We agreed that @tbhallett would make the changes in a PR and ask @inesll and @timcolbourn to review. For that reason, @tbhallett is now assigned this issue.
