Term
|
Definition
• Print groups query the Chronicles database and display the information in a specific format.
• It is made up of three styles
1. Plain Text
2. Rich Text
3. Native HTML
• A print group’s style determines where the print group can be used, its formatting options, appearance, and what additional functionality (such as hyperlinks) it can contain.
• As a rule, a report will only contain print groups of one style.
• Every print group in a report should be plain text, rich text, or native HTML. |
|
|
Term

| A grouping of related navigator sections. After grouping sections by topic, the topic records are configured within a navigator template record. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The most general type of navigator record. Within the template record, administrators can define one or more topics, which are groupings of navigator sections. The template, thus, defines a single, complete navigator. |
|
|
Term
| How would you build a Navigator topic? |
|
Definition
In the Navigator Template Editor, you can add a topic to a template by typing in the search field at
the top of the template or click the Add button. You can also create topic records on-the-fly by
either of these means. |

|
|
Term
| What are three aspects of a patient encounter that can be altered based on a rule match? |
|
Definition
| Answers will vary. Some include: Override or Append More Activities menu, Change default activity when a workspace opens, Change available navigators. |
|
|
Term
| True or False. If the patient encounter does not match conditions in a Workflow Engine rule, the system looks for a rule in the next level of the profile hierarchy. |
|
Definition
| False. Settings found in the role and compiled profile for the patient encounter will be used. The system will not look for additional Workflow Engine rules at other levels in the profile hierarchy. |
|
|
Term
| True or False. Once a rule matches on conditions and carries out directives, the system always keeps looking for more conditions to evaluate. |
|
Definition
| False. The system will only continue evaluating the rule if the first set of directives specifies “continue afterwards. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
• A type of rule used to define the activities and navigators available when a clinician opens an encounter in the unified clinical workspace.
• Workflow Engine rules are built in the Workflow Engine Rule Editor. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
The “then…” portion of the rule (directive) tells the Workflow Engine what to do if the rule matches the conditions specified in the “If…” portion.
• Normally, once a rule matches on a true condition, it executes whatever directives are there and then stops processing the rule. It’s done searching.
• However, if a set of directives says, “continue afterwards,” then the system will continue reading the rule and processing conditions and directives.
• Directives found later in the rule can add to previous directives.
• If later directives found by continuing afterwards conflict with previous directives, the later directives will trump the previous. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
The “If…” portion of a rule (condition) specifies which properties and values the “then…” portion applies to. The rows that start with “if” evaluate properties.
• These nested conditions allow for a more refined search.
• When evaluating a rule, the system looks to the top condition first.
• If a condition is not true, the rule skips any conditions nested under it. It moves down the rule to the next value for that condition, or the next entirely new condition |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
• Property= Relevant Information
• Every clinical workspace has many properties, such as encounter type, patient age, and provider specialty.
• Each property used in the Workflow Engine is defined by a property record in the Properties (LRC) master file. Epic programmers build these records. |

Term
|
Definition
Anyone who needs to log in to Hyperspace needs his/her own user record. User records determine
login IDs, passwords, default login departments, security (access to functionality), and many other
settings. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
User templates (or linkable templates) are records in the User (EMP) master file that allow you to
create a single record to maintain shared settings for multiple user records. You create a user
template for a particular group of users (for example, medical assistants). In the template, you
assign the access to activities, Hyperspace configuration, profiles, and other settings appropriate to
that group. |

| What function does security perform in Epic? |
|
Definition
| Security controls access to functionality— what a user is or is not allowed to do in the system. |
|
|
Term
| Explain the difference between a security class and a security point. |
|
Definition
| A security point grants access to a single piece of functionality; it’s like a key. A security class is a collection of security points, like a key ring. Users are linked to security classes either directly or via a template; users are not linked directly to security points. |

| Which type of security controls access to hospital functionality, like the MAR and Doc Flowsheets? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Your organization wants its hospital charge nurses to have administrative access to the Patient List activity (Inpatient security point 1 – Patient List Administrator). Otherwise, their access should be the same as that of other inpatient nurses (who use the IP NURSE Inpatient security class). How would you efficiently take care of this need? |
|
Definition
| Duplicate the IP NURSE Inpatient security class, and call the duplicate something like IP CHARGE NURSE. Add to the duplicate the desired security point. Link all of the charge nurses’ user records (or a charge nurse user template) to this duplicate security class. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
• One function of the user template is to assign access to activities in Epic. This access is controlled by records in the Security Class (ECL) master file. Security class records can be shared, so assigning them in the template is an efficient way to grant access to groups of users.
• Instead of giving individual security points directly to users, security points of the same type are lumped into security classes, like rings of keys, and then assigned to the appropriate groups of users. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
• Security points are individual keys to pieces of Epic functionality.
• Each activity (like Chart Review) is associated with one or more security points. If a user has the security point, he has access to the activity. If he does NOT have the required security point, then he will not be able to launch the activity.
• In most cases, the user won’t even see the activity, or it might appear as grayed out.
• Security points are typically referred to by the type of security class they are found in (Inpatient, EpicCare, Emergency, Shared, etc.) and a number. |
|
