*'''Project: PostalCode'''
This article contained the information how to code postal code until it was moved to a new field. See history of article for 2016-07-25 for how it used to be coded. See [[Postal Code field]] for how it's coded now.  
*'''Item: Postal Code'''
*'''"Q"'''('''note, that's the last field on the form, not the first!'''): enter the patient's postal code ''X1X1X1'', ie no space
**Use Upper Case letters in the postal code with no space between please.  
**When the postal code is not available, tick off the "B" and leave the space for postal code blank


== Special Cases ==
=== Homeless with proxy address ===
If you have a homeless person admitted who lists their address as Siloam Mission or the Salvation Army/Booth's Place, use their postal code as provided.


=== Institutionalized patients ===
For patients who live in care homes, use the institution's postal code.


=== Inmates ===
[[Category:Legacy Data]]
For inmates such as from Stoney Mountain or Headingley use the institution's postal code.
[[Category:Postal Codes]]


=== Postal Code not available ===
}}
If a postal code is unavailable for a patient, tick off the "B" and leave the space for postal code blank.  e.g.:
* John/Jane Doe
* out-of-country patient
* chart doesn't have postal code
 
== Uses for the data ==
Social economic stratification of population by geographic area.
 
== Requirements to enter the data ==
 
'''The post code line is automatically generated so collectors can save a step. If the line is present it needs to have either a postal code or a "not available" check.  ''' [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 14:56, 2012 February 9 (CST)
 
== Discussion ==
{{discussion}}
*Tina, Can you make it so if the button has been checked for no postal code but you do enter one once you find it that the check button will automatically clear so the system knows one has been entered.--[[User:CMarks|CMarks]] 14:04, 2012 February 10 (CST)
** I am not sure that is such a good idea. The only reason I can see why this would be relevant is if patients routinely had the "not available" box checked and then later a postal code entered. If that were happening then maybe we would need to review how we do postal code collection... [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 14:47, 2012 February 10 (CST)
 
**Hi Collectors, has entry issues been resolved in regards to discussion above?  Please advise otherwise I will remove this discussion.[[User:TOstryzniuk|Trish Ostryzniuk]] 15:14, 2012 April 3 (CDT)
