Collection Instructions
PHIN
Leave PHIN blank. Data collector will generate a Pseudo PHIN.
Province
Enter "CF" for Province.
Postal Code
Collect their Postal Code as usual. We can use this if we actually want the location where these patients live.
Data use
We confirm our data against MB Health data, and Canadian Funded patients would not be on their list. To not get an error for them each time, we need a way to exclude them from the list. This is why they are coded as province = "CF".
Legacy info

RCMP used to have a similar arrangement to CF. They are now covered like everyone else.
