All other provinces are separate databases from one another, but using the search on the welcome screen enables you to view information in the databases of other provinces.

To use the the Location look up feature: (all users)
Depending on how much information the receiving agencies have entered, and depending how closely they have followed the prescribed services will determine how effective this feature is in producing information.
Location Contains field:
You can enter too much information so we normally suggest you start only with a key word search in the "location contains" field. If you get too much information, you may want to add some more key words (e.g.if you entered "Hospital" you may want to try again with "Children's Hospital.")
If you are aware of the specific agency you want to use, limit the search further by selecting the agency from the drop down list. If you are simply looking for locations anywhere at the start, leave the setting on "All."
