Identification_Information: Citation: Citation_Information: Originator: Manitoba Health Publication_Date: 20151104 Title: Manitoba RHA Shapefile Edition: Version 6 Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data Publication_Information: Publication_Place: Winnipeg, Manitoba Publisher: Manitoba Health, Healthy Living, and Seniors Description: Abstract: Within Manitoba there are five Regional Health Authorities (or "RHAs") responsible for the delivery of health services in five specific areas of the province described in the legislation as "health regions." (In practice, the terms "health region" and "RHA" are used interchangeably to describe these geographic areas.). This file contains boundaries for the health regions for each Regional Health Authority in Manitoba. Purpose: This file was developed to support research into and analysis of the health status of, and the delivery of health services to, the Manitoba population. Supplemental_Information: The boundaries in this dataset represent the descriptions set forth in the Regional Health Authorities Establishment Regulation (Man. Reg. 207/97) and subsequent amendments.

These RHA boundaries may not be entirely consistent with the water boundaries developed by Manitoba Conservation, or the water boundaries an RHA shares with one of its constituent municipalities, in other shapefiles. The boundaries in the shapefile should be considered accurate enough to be representative of the boundary, but should not be considered to have exact positional accuracy. 2) Certain RHA boundaries are legislatively defined in terms of the boundaries of specific First Nations land areas. In the source data sets from which this map was assembled there may be a measurable amount of positional error due to projection issues encountered during the production of those source data sets. 3) Where boundary definitions in distinct sources not involving the legislatively defined RHA boundaries have failed to align, these issues have been resolved in favor of the source considered to be the most reliable, notwithstanding 1) and 2) above. Completeness_Report: This shape file has complete coverage of the land area of Manitoba, and represents the complete set of boundaries for all health regions within the province of Manitoba as of its issue date. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: The first step in the process of creating the Manitoba RHA boundaries shape file is the creating a single set of disjoint bounded land areas (including provincially defined municipalities) and other distinct and identifiable areas which entirely covers the entire bounded area of the province. Where these identified areas cross RHA boundaries, they are subdivided so that none of the disjoint areas in the completed data set will cross an RHA boundary. The second step in creating the RHA boundary file is to dissolve all of the individual disjoint shapes which belong to a specific RHA's land area and dissolve them into a single shape corresponding to the area within the boundaries of each RHA.
