What is a 'pseudo-PHIN' and when is it used?

  1. A fake patient health number, used for all prescriptions

  2. A temporary patient identifier for non-residents of Manitoba

  3. A unique identifier for each prescription filled

  4. A code used for tracking lost prescriptions

The correct answer is: A temporary patient identifier for non-residents of Manitoba

A 'pseudo-PHIN' is not used for all prescriptions (A) or unique to each prescription (C). Additionally, it is not used for tracking lost prescriptions (D). A 'pseudo-PHIN' is a temporary patient identifier that is used for non-residents of Manitoba (B). It is not a fake patient health number (A) and it is not used for tracking lost prescriptions (D). The purpose of a 'pseudo-PHIN' is to allow for efficient tracking and recording of prescriptions for non-residents who are not eligible for a regular PHIN.
