Incident record classification for administrative boundary validation

Classification	Validation Criteria	Usage
Valid	Reported health units fall in the reported provinces or territories.	The record is counted in all process of the system.
Not valid	Reported health units do not fall in the reported provinces or territories. This will cause confusion in statistics, because the total number summarized by health units will be different from total number summarized by provinces or territories.	These invalid records are stored in the database. However, the map and query processes will not count them. Data is flagged for internal users to edit.
