Description
Acronyms may be more difficult to recall than full words. Mostly all the default tag names are explicit enough, but hcw may be the only one that is difficult to recall.
linelist::tags_names()
#> [1] "id" "date_onset" "date_reporting" "date_admission"
#> [5] "date_discharge" "date_outcome" "date_death" "gender"
#> [9] "age" "location" "occupation" "hcw"
#> [13] "outcome"

Research direction
Start by locating the implementation of linelist::tags_names() and searching for the default tag name "hcw". Done means the default tag is exposed as "health_care_worker" and the tags_names() output reflects that explicit name.
