We cross-check the postal codes we collect as part of Postal Code field collection against a list of known-good postal codes. Also see query NDC_Postal_Code_over_time.

CFE Data Integrity Checks Steps

Comparisons are done as part of vetting via NDC query NDC_Bad_Postal_Code in CFE. Steps will be:

  • if the patient has Province = Manitoba or CF :
    1. check the postal code in EPR, correct if different than ours
    2. if same as ours, check the address in EPR against Canada Post Postal Codes;
  • 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
    • 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

update to Postal_Code_Master table

see Postal_Code_Master table#Maintenance and Validation of Master table for other update processes we have for Postal_Code_Master table

  1. Open Postal_Code_Master table
  2. update/add code
    • you only need to fill in the fields PCode, rhaname, RHA_Acronym and town, we will eliminate the other fields.

Maintenance and Validation of Master table
