== Uses for the data ==

With the overstay project not needing this data now our main reason for collecting it is gone. This is still interesting data,but for the most part we want to collect because we actually use data, not just ~~ebcause~~ it's interesting. So, I propose we take to the steering committee whether we should continue to collect this. On this topic, email from Julie:

"In the past and until now, Randy Martens is interested on the critical care population by geographic area and that is possible to do by having the patient's postal code. As a matter of fact, he thought we have that data before so he can do his postal code analysis. I am sure Randy would like the postal code data to be collected for the critical care database."

* Trish, can you confirm if the continued collection of this data is going on the next steering agenda? [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 16:13, 18 January 2012 (CST)

** Yes it should be discussed at next Steering meeting and team can decide if Randy's need and Dr. Garland suggestion that continuing code collection would enhance the database allowing social economic stratification of population also. That it would actually used by many not few. --[[User:TOstryzniuk|TOstryzniuk]] 11:06, 19 January 2012 (CST)

***I find that if you dont have postal codes for some of your pts before you send even if they are not complete you cant send your completed files without entering a postal code or a checkmark on those unsent pts. Would it be possible to have that safety feature on just the completed files?
