Province field

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 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 Known / Not available
• OS Outside of North America

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

Discussion

Does CF take precedence over the province where someone lives? Does this include family members of CF staff?
