* if the patient has '''[[Province]] = Manitoba or CF''' :
 
*# check the postal code in EPR, correct if different than ours
{{discussion}}
*# if same as ours, check the address in EPR against [https://www.canadapost.ca/cpo/mc/personal/postalcode/fpc.jsf Canada Post Postal Codes];
* booked to do with Pagasa on Monday. Ttenbergen 16:50, 2014 October 2 (CDT)>
*#* update patient's postal code if it was wrong '''or'''
** Pagasa, I think we never followed up on this. Are those checks being done regularly? Where in vetting process do they fit? Ttenbergen 16:06, 2016 July 25 (CDT)
*#* make [[#update to Postal_Code_Master table]] if postal code was correct and just not in our list
 
* if the patient is from '''any other province''':
 
** if the Postal Code's '''first letter''' is not for the province where the patient lives you need to check EPR or internet to put the correct Postal code
[http://www.rham.mb.ca/rhalist.html RHA lists]
** If the first letter is appropriate for province but triggers because it's not in the master list, then register the D_ID with [[Known data errors]] with query name "NDC_Bad_Postal_Code"
 
* if the patient has '''Province = (US or NK or OS)''' there should be no postal code so query should not trigger at all
=== updating the codes ===
Codes are stored in ''[[Table Postal Code Master]]''. Codes can be manually added to or imported into this table when a new master set becomes available.

X:\CCMDB\z_archive\PostalCode
# Open [[Postal_Code_Master table]]
