Province field

The Province field (S_Provinces table on the PDA), records the province that the patient is registered with health care or if not eligible for health care, the province that they reside in.

Choose the value for the "Province" field from the dropdown lists in HanDBase on the PDA or 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 Know / Not available
• OS Outside of North America
