What term stores all HB charges, payments, and adjustments for a patient's encounter?

In EPIC Resolute, the Hospital Account Record (HAR) acts as the single financial ledger for a patient’s encounter. It stores every hospital billing item—charges for services—along with payments posted by patients or insurers and any adjustments (like write-offs or allowances). This creates the complete financial picture: what was billed, what was paid, and what remains due. Other concepts like Min Days or Open Status relate to scheduling or account state and don’t hold the entire charges/payments/adjustments history. The HAR is the container that keeps all HB charges, payments, and adjustments aligned for that encounter, making it the correct term.
