II - Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA) LTC Minimum Data Set (MDS) DatabaseThe Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA) LTC Minimum Data Set (MDS) database is a database maintained by the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA) that contains data for Winnipeg only, beginning in 2000. It consists of five types of files: admissions, discharges, re-entries and full and quarterly assessments. The assessments include a wide array of information about the resident. Full assessments are typically completed on admission to a facility and then once per year. However, some facilities choose to complete Full Assessments on a quarterly basis (every 3 months). All forms include basic demographic information such as birthdate, sex, and scrambled PHIN. All the data from these files can be linked together by scrPHIN (Scrambled PHIN), and organized chronologically by date.
