description
This file is a work file of patients who were inpatients as of 11:59pm on acensus date. File entries are created by the Regenerate Census Workfile option of the Census module. The file is used to produce the Census Status Report. Without this workfile, it would be necessary to search all admissions in order to compile this report. This file eliminates that processing.
