The Province field records the province that the patient is registered with health care. If the patient is not eligible for health care, enter the province that they reside in.

The field draws its options from the S_Provinces table on the PDA and in the CCMDB.mdb.

Choose the value for the "Province" field from the dropdown lists in Access. The provincial abbreviations are the same as for mailing. In addition to the provinces you have the following options:

  • US United States
  • CF Canadian Armed Forces
  • NK Not Known / Not available
  • OS Outside of North America

Data Integrity Checks

See PHIN field for details on how the Province field and the PHIN field relate.

Should we have a CF entry? How is it used?

Template:Discussion This will probably address the two sub-headings.

All province entries except CF are geographical and administrative. CF is only administrative. If we are interested in flagging patients who live in a province but are not insured by that province we would also need to track First Nations, RCMP and resident aliens like visa students. I don't think we care to break out the rest, so for consistency the "CF" province entry should be eliminated.

  • Julie/Trish, is there any reason to keep CF separate? Has anyone request ever included this as a criterion? Ttenbergen 12:01, 2012 September 6 (CDT)
