Profiles of international students may or may not have a PHIN. At some point, students have at times been covered[https://web.archive.org/web/20180114154123/https://www.gov.mb.ca/ie/study/medical.html], | |||

Since the PHIN is used as a unique identifier for patients to detect repeat and continuous visits, a "''pseudoPHIN''" is assigned for patients who don't have a PHIN. At this point, pseudoPHINS are assigned by [[data processor|Pagasa]], see see [[Generating PseudoPHINs]]. | Since the PHIN is used as a unique identifier for patients to detect repeat and continuous visits, a "''pseudoPHIN''" is assigned for patients who don't have a PHIN.

We observed that there was a drop in the number of PseudoPHINs during the part of COVID. We confirmed that fewer out-of-province patients would have been accepted during this time, so that change is legitimate. | |||

As discussed at [[Task Team Meeting - Rolling Agenda and Minutes 2019#ICU Database Task Group Meeting – February 25, 2019|Task]], this may trigger some errors in our [[cross check]]s; if so, appropriate records will be added to the [[L_Problem table]] so the error goes away. | |||
