SECTION 1: PROCEDURES & PROCEDURE CATEGORIES (Questions 1-45)
Question 1
How many tiers does the Procedure Hierarchy have?
A) 2
B) 3
C) 4
D) 5
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The Procedure Hierarchy has 3 tiers: System Definitions (broadest),
Procedure Category (middle), and Procedure (most specific). Settings at lower
levels override higher levels. This tiered structure allows for efficient
configuration where common settings can be applied at higher levels and
specific exceptions can be defined at lower levels.
Question 2
Which of the following correctly lists the levels of the Procedure Hierarchy
from highest to lowest?
A) Procedure Category → System Definitions → Procedure
B) System Definitions → Procedure Category → Procedure
C) Procedure → Procedure Category → System Definitions
D) System Definitions → Procedure → Procedure Category
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The hierarchy follows System Definitions → Procedure Category →
1
,Procedure. System Definitions represent the broadest level with organization-
wide
default settings. The Procedure level is the most specific and overrides
settings from higher levels.
Question 3
At which level of the Procedure Hierarchy are the broadest, most general
settings configured?
A) Procedure
B) Procedure Category
C) System Definitions
D) Department
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: System Definitions (LSD) represent the broadest level of the
hierarchy and contain organization-wide default settings. These settings apply
to all procedures unless overridden at the Procedure Category or Procedure
level.
Question 4
If a setting is defined at both the Procedure Category and the Procedure level,
which takes precedence?
A) Procedure Category
B) Procedure
C) Both apply equally
D) System Definitions override both
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The Procedure level is the most specific and overrides settings
from the Procedure Category level. This allows for fine-tuned customization
where individual procedures can have unique settings that differ from their
2
,category defaults.
Question 5
What is the correct acronym for System Definitions in Epic?
A) EAP
B) EDP
C) LSD
D) OCC
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: LSD stands for System Definitions in Epic terminology. This is the
broadest level of the Procedure Hierarchy where organization-wide default
settings are configured.
Question 6
What is the correct acronym for Procedure Category in Epic?
A) EAP
B) EDP
C) LSD
D) PDC
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: EDP stands for Procedure Category in Epic terminology. This is the
middle tier of the Procedure Hierarchy where settings apply to groups of
procedures that share common characteristics.
Question 7
What is the correct acronym for Procedure in Epic?
A) EAP
B) EDP
C) LSD
3
, D) OCC
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: EAP stands for Procedure in Epic terminology. This is the most
specific level of the Procedure Hierarchy where individual procedure settings
are defined and override higher-level settings.
Question 8
When the system searches the procedure hierarchy and finds multiple class
buttons defined at different levels, how does it determine which to display?
A) It displays buttons from all levels
B) It displays only the most specific level's buttons
C) It displays only the highest level's buttons
D) It displays buttons from System Definitions only
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The system searches the procedure hierarchy from the most specific
level to the broadest and displays buttons from the most specific level where
they are defined. This ensures that the most relevant and specific buttons
are presented to the user.
Question 9
What is the relationship between Procedure Categories and Procedures?
A) Procedures contain multiple categories
B) Categories contain multiple procedures
C) They are unrelated
D) Categories and procedures are the same thing
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Procedure Categories contain multiple procedures that share common
