| The entry [[L_TmpV2]] entry for Postal Code collection will be automatically created for any new patient created. Data is collected for socioeconomic stratification of population by geographic area.

|
| == Collection Instruction ==
| |
| Enter the postal code in the automatically generated '''PostalCode''' record in the temp table.
| |
| * enter into the '''"Q"''' field ('''note, that's the last field on the form, not the first!''')
| |
| ** no space
| |
| ** upper case letters
| |
| ** example only: X0X0X0
| |
| * 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]], 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 '''not''' MB then the postal code should not be a MB postal code and also, there should not be an PHIN number.
| |
|
| |
|
| == Special Cases ==
| | [[Category:Legacy Data]] |
| === Homeless with proxy address ===
| | [[Category:Postal Codes]] |
| 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.
| |
|
| |
|
| Code "couch surfers" as "no postal code".
| | }} |
| | |
| === 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
| |
| * chart doesn't have postal code
| |
| * out-of-country patient
| |
| **The postal code should reflect the patient’s '''permanent residence'''. So for someone from India, the postal code should be not available.
| |
| | |
| == {{CCMDB Data Integrity Checks}} ==
| |
| Unlike other tmp entries, this entry is not checked as part of the pre-send checker, it is sent when checking TMP complete.
| |
| PC must be '''''one ''of the following'''
| |
| * blank postal code, postal code missing check box checked
| |
| * postal code missing check box '''''un'''''checked and letter number letter number letter number
| |
| ** example only: ''X1X1X1''
| |
| | |
| === [[Province]] - Postal Code consistency ===
| |
| We used to have a consistency check between [[Province]] and postal code. It was eliminated because there are weird special cases where consistency between [[Province]], [[PHIN]] and postal code gave false-positives. The check between [[PHIN]] and [[Province]] is more important for us, so we eliminated the check for Postal Code vs [[Province]].
| |
| | |
| === duplicates ===
| |
| Check for duplicate postal code entries was implemented as query ''s_tmp_Postal_duplicate'', not sure when. Ttenbergen 16:45, 2016 February 22 (CST)
