Each transaction requires the user to specify the "Location of transaction." The location of transaction refers to where the client received services/supplies, and includes the following options:
- In-service NEP/NSP (core or satellite)
Outreach locations:
- Addiction programs (e.g., residential and day programs)
- Bars/night clubs
- Residence (e.g., client home, apartment/house, hotel/motel, friend's place, place where client resides, etc.)
- Hotel/motel
- Community agencies/services (that are not fixed site needle exchange programs, e.g., church basement for the out of the cold program, shelters, etc.)
- Community public spaces (e.g., barbershop, hair salon, bathhouse, massage parlour, etc.)
- Jails/detention centres/prisons
- Opioid agonist therapy clinics
- Parties/raves
- Pharmacies
- Street/parks (e.g., you are on foot and distributing safer injection or inhalation equipment)
- Mobile distribution from a van (e.g., driving a route and distributing from a van/car, does not include driving to a specific location to deliver supplies)
Note that "In-service NEP/NSP (core or satellite)" refers to any fixed NEP/NSP location. All other options are "outreach locations," which refer to possible locations an outreach worker might visit to provide services.
For example, your agency might partner with pharmacies or other community agencies/services to distribute supplies - these would be considered "in-service NEP/NSP" because they are satellite sites of the NEP/NSP. On the other hand, if an outreach worker visits another community agency to distribute supplies themselves, then the community agency would be considered an "outreach location."
