| == Collection Instruction ==
| |
| Enter the postal code in the automatically generated '''PostalCode''' record in the temp table.
| |
| *'''"Q"'''('''note, that's the last field on the form, not the first!'''): enter the patient's postal code example only: ''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
| |
|
| |
|
| == Relationship between Province, PHIN and Postal Code ==
| |
| When collecting Postal Code, [[PHIN]] number and [[Province]] Code, think about the relationship of this information when you are collecting it.
| |
| *if patient has a MB PHIN number, then province code should be MB and the postal code should be for MB (MB postal codes start with an "R").
| |
| *if [[Province]] code is '''outside''' of MB, USA or out of country, then the postal code should not be a MB postal code and also, there should not be an PHIN number.
| |
|
| |
|
| There have been some [[#CCMDB Data Integrity Checks|automated integrity checks]] applied to ccmdb to help collectors further with this. See bottom of this article.

| == 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 ===
| |
| For inmates such as from Stoney Mountain or Headingley use the institution's postal code.
| |
| | |
| === 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
| |
| | |
| == {{CCMDB Data Integrity Checks}} ==
| |
| Unlike other tmp entries, this entry is not checked as part of the pre-send checker.
| |
| * if the province is a Canadian province then the postal code needs to be filled out and needs to start with the letter appropriate for that province, e.g. ''R'' for Manitoba
| |
| * no international postal codes are required even if they are available
| |
| * entry must be structured like a proper postal code:
| |
| ** must be in upper case
| |
| ** no spaces allowed
| |
| ** must be letter number letter number letter number
| |
| ** example only: ''X1X1X1''
