This field is currently being implemented, please check the instructions and put a discussion for anything that isn't clear.
The Postal_Code field will contain Postal code collection data.
The field will move to a different tab probably, not sure yet how things will look when the old fields are all cleaned out.
Collection Instruction
Enter the Postal code
- no space
- upper case letters
- example only: X0X0X0
When the postal code is not available (e.g. John/Jane Doe or chart doesn't have postal code) enter "N/A" or click the "N/A" button to enter it for you.
Special Cases
Homeless with proxy address
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 "N/A".
Institutionalized patients
For institutionalized patients (e.g. prison inmates, care homes), use the institution's postal code.
Out-of-Country patients
Our cross checks would flag the format of out-of-country postal codes, so enter "N/A" for these.
Data Use
Postal code collection will be moved to or referenced from here.
Template:CCMDB Data Integrity Checks
