The inpatient service days are calculated by adding admissions and subtracting discharges (including deaths) from the midnight census. Starting with 94, add 3 admissions (1 in the morning, 2 in the afternoon) and subtract 5 discharges (3 transfers, 2 expirations), resulting in 97 inpatient service days.
