| DESCRIPTION |
This options allows the supervisor to regenerate the CENSUS WORKFILE
than otherwise would be possible. Without this workfile, it
would be neccessary to scan all admissions prior to the census
date to determine if the admission was still active on the census date.
This option only needs to be run at the beginning of the census process
and at the end of the process to ensure that no admissions have been
added via bed control. However, this option can be run at anytime
if desired.
NOTE: The 'Census Status Report' uses the the CENSUS WORKFILE.
entries for a particular census date.
As a result, the 'Census Status Report' should not be run until
after the regeneration is complete.
NOTE: The first time the 'Census Status Report' is run for a
particular census date, the CENSUS WORKFILE is automatically
generated.
At the end of the regeneration process, the WORKFILE LAST UPDATED
field in the PTF CENSUS DATE file is updated with the current
date and time.
The 'Display Census Date Parameters' option displays all the
parameters associated with a census date, including WORKFILE
LAST UPDATED. A supervisor can use this option to
monitor the completion of a regeneration.
Also, at the end of the regeneration process, a Mailman bulletin
is sent to the user requesting the regeneration. This bulletin
will indicate any changes that may have occurred as a result of
regeneration.
This option places one entry in the CENSUS WORKFILE for each
admission needing a census record for that selected census date.
The workfile is an extract of data from the admission data for the
patients who were inpatients as of 11:59 on the census date. This
workfile makes the printing of the 'Census Status Report' faster
