Temporary data collection

When the data we collect continuously (see Auto Data Dictionary and Data User Portal for the Manitoba Critical Care and Medicine Databases) doesn't include information of interest, the Critical Care and Medicine Database has a flexible method of quickly adding additional values required for a period of time. For examples of data like this, see Projects. Depending on complexity, capacity and collection effort we can usually set up the collection of such data within a week or two.

Information relevant to data users

To request collection of additional data, fill out a File:Request for additional collection.pdf and submit it to us (contact info on form).

Consider how your information might be stored in the Entity–attribute–value model of the L Tmp V2 table, such as Automatic Generation of TMP entries or Dropdown-like user experience for tmp projects.

Consider any Data Integrity Checks that might help, our Checklist when changing or adding a variable or tmp project can help.

This is a lot, and we are happy to help you with this (contact info on form).
