TED 300: EPIC TRAINING BUILD QUESTIONS
Mitosis Run - Answers- An .xml spreadsheet finalized and run in MST after testing in
ACE. These patients will age, and this option is primarily used by non-clinical apps.
Mitosis Load - Answers- Finalized .xml spreadsheets are given to the Mitosis Guru after
testing who will add it to the active Mitosis sheet. The Guru will load this into MST, but it
will only run the the PREP environment with each refresh to make the patients look
fresh for class every day.
Mitosis Guru - Answers- PT who creates the one "official" Mitosis spreadsheet to be
loaded in MST.
Anchor date - Answers- The date the model patient looks perfect for class. This date
equates to "today" for each duplicated patient.
Copy-Paste Duplications - Answers- Used to create training patients that are not date-
sensitive. (They age over time.) Done in MST
Why would you use Mitosis (run) and not copy and paste duplication? - Answers-
Patients are not date-sensitive, they can age over time; but they require some features
in the mitosis spreadsheet like user and provider swaps.
Who runs a Mitosis (run) spreadsheet into MST: Application PT or Guru? - Answers-
Run spreadsheets are run in MST by the application trainer.
Mitosis Duplication Menu - Answers- Patient Tools menu in Epic Training Tools utility
that allows you to run and load mitosis xml files.
Date-Sensitive Patients - Answers- Patients who have active orders, scheduled
appointments, age or time specific scenario details like a pregnancy. Information in the
patient chart will look unrealistic if the patient is allowed to age over time.
What are the 4 steps you need to create an exact copy of your model patient with the
Copy and Paste Duplication tool? - Answers- 1. Copy and patient duplication names
from your application cookbook.
2. Open the Training Tools > Manual Duplication application.
3. Enter the correct model patient that exists in Hyperspace.
4. Paste the names from the cookbook at the prompt.
What is a consequence of duplicating patients in MST? - Answers- Patients will age
and date-sensitive information such as appointments and upcoming procedures will not
be realistic.
Give an example when a Mitosis Guru will need to re-load a Mitosis sheet? - Answers-
You need to edit a model patient that uses date sliding, the guru will have to reload it to
, force it to copy your new patient instead of the old patient. This is true even if the tab in
the Mitosis spreadsheet stays the same.
True or False: Every application uses Mitosis to duplicate patients - Answers- False
In which environments are duplicate training patients typically created? - Answers- MST
For non-date sensitive patients and PREP for date sensitive patients.
Manual Patient Duplicator - Answers- Use to make a duplicate (or duplicates) of an
existing patient. ◎ Duplicates receive a copy of the patient's history that they were
copied from. ◎ A duplicate patient's history can be adjusted by sliding them
Historical Build User - Answers- If you're building or editing model patients manually in
MST, you will log in as users called historical build users.
Historical build users are copies of model users. (Example: Diana McQueenie)
Patient Build Instructions - Answers- Steps to build a patient in the patient-specific
spreadsheets in your training wheels.
Step Patient - Answers- A duplicate patient that is created in order to allow date sliding.
Spinoff patient - Answers- a patient that is similar to another patient that already exists
but needs to be modified to be applicable to your training scenerio.
What is the difference between a model patient and a training patient? - Answers- The
model patient is the single perfect version of a patient that is copied. The training patient
is the copied patient. Model patients are built in MST. Training patients are duplicated in
either MST or Prep. You build Model patients and you copy training patients.
Can you date slide a patient without creating a duplicate? - Answers- No, you must
always create a duplicate or "step" patient.
What are the 4 principles of date sliding? - Answers- 1. Start with the oldest encounter.
2. Date slide the number *Between* to events.
3. Don't backdate clinical data like blood pressures, but you can backdate billing data.
4. All data in discrete fields will slide.
Are model patients created from step patients or are step patients created from model
patients? - Answers- Model patients are duplicated from step patients and slid into the
future.
What are the purpose of Patient Build Instructions? - Answers- To help you manually
build or edit patients that cannot be teleported with Scotty.
Where do you build model patients that you created from patient build instructions? -
Answers- Hyperspace.
