• book says "(example of specific location code as shown on page 69)" but that just lists all medicine locations where we collect. --Ttenbergen
  • Page 69 Med guide is the wards we are collecting on. It only served as an example of how to code a ward before we had the drop down lists on PDA. Example: STB B5 not 5B. This instruction referring to page 69 of code book removed. Link to s_varoption table will be better.TOstryzniuk 17:20, 23 July 2008 (CDT)
• are these only used where we collect on the other ward as well? Is that why "center" is used instead of "hospital"? --Ttenbergen

• • Tina can you please create a link to the s_var options table?
