* I think this is the process where you said you are having problems with copy/pasting. Copy pasting isn't even mentioned here, so maybe update the process to show how you actually do this, so that someone like Sheila Rusnak would be able to follow the instructions.

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.
  • Fixing and adding Postal code to the Master Postal Code
  • Create a query need the D_ID, Phin and Postal Code, use Log_PHI Table.
  • Open the Postal Code Master if you need to add a Postal Code
  • Open the EPR to check the address of the patient
  • Check first the Postal Code in EPR - then go to Address
  • If not the same get the Province
  • Go to Postal Code Master filter by Province then by Town
  • Click ctrl C to copy and ctrl V to paste then search to the column Postal code , but erase the last letter and number of PC.
  • Sort the Postal Code ,

Maintenance and Validation of Master table

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

Log

  • 2021-01-27 - changed query to only look at the last year of data to make it faster; any older records were already fixed
