42.6001,2 BALANCE FLAG 0;2 SET
'1' FOR SEGMENT IN BALANCE;
'0' FOR SEGMENT OUT OF BALANCE;
LAST EDITED: NOV 26, 1990
DESCRIPTION: The balance flag is not currently being utilized in calulating the figures for the AMIS reports.
The balance flag, however is to insure that the AMIS figures 'balance' at the End Of Month. For
example, The 'Patients Remaining EOM' from the prior month's AMIS report, plus all new
admissions/gains, subtract all discharges/losses should equal the 'Patients Remaining EOM' on the
current AMIS report.
TECHNICAL DESCR: The balance flag is set when the AMIS report is in or out of balance. For instance, the figure
in field "Patients Remaining End Of Month" from the previous month's report + all current
admissions/gains - all current discharges/losses = current month's "Patients Remaining End Of
Month". This field is a set of codes where '1' represents 'Segment In Balance' and '0' indicates
'Segment Out of Balance'.
