Documentation (element)

Units: List of elements

Partial description of the case management tree. The tree consists of: Probability branches: map an ID to another ID (the outcome) stochastically. Test branches: map an ID with a special flag to another ID; these are hard-coded. Leaf nodes: these map an ID to a list of drug medications.

Test branches are used if a flag requests a test (currently only RESULT_DETERMINE for parasite tests). Otherwise a probability or leaf branch is used by masking the current ID with mask (attribute for this element).
