Collection Instructions

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

  • US United States
  • CF Canadian Funded (RCMP, Canadian Forces...)
  • NK Not Known / Not available
  • OS Outside of North America

CF

Use CF for patients who are funded by the federal government directly, eg. Canadian Forces, RCMP. RCMP and CF are federally funded so they don't have a Manitoba PHIN number.

If we need info on where they live we can use the Postal Code entries.

Now covered by province?

Template:Discussion At a recent meeting someone mentioned that Canadian Forces members are now covered by the province. Should that change how we collect this? Ttenbergen 14:57, 2017 February 6 (CST)

CF family members not coded as CF

Medical coverage for CF dependents is covered by the province in which they live. They do not receive any healthcare services from the CF.

use of "CF"

We confirm our data against MB Health data, and Canadian Funded patients would not be on their list. To not get an error for them each time, we need a way to exclude them from the list. This is why they are coded as province = "CF".

Template:CCMDB Data Integrity Checks

Province can not be left blank. Also, see PHIN field for details on how the Province field and the PHIN field relate.

Data Structure

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