"Diabetes mellitus," is an example of a corresponding what to item, "Reason for Visit?" - ANS -
Value
\A _________ is a date specific snapshot of the data within a record. - ANS - Contact
\A ________________ is the data that is stored in an item. - ANS - Value
\A report is a collection of individual what? - ANS - Print Groups
\Add a single value to a category list. - ANS - 1. Open the desired category list.
2. In the Add/Edit category field, type an ID number that isn't already in use.
3. For Title, type the name of your new value.
4. For Abbreviations, the system will suggest one if you press TAB to get there.
5. Click Accept.
6. Click Save
\All of the information that you enter in Hyperspace is stored in ___________, Epic's database
management system. - ANS - Chronicles
\An ____________is a discrete field within a record. - ANS - Item
\Can you edit data in the Record Viewer? - ANS - No. Record Viewer only allows you to view the
information.
\Category list - ANS - • A category list is a defined set of possible values for a particular item.
• Category lists are used in the system for these purposes:
Standardization of responses for reporting
Speed: Typing time is reduced since you can select from category lists by completion matching
Triggering other functionality in the system (for selected values)
\Category value - ANS - When you use the term 'category list,' you are referring to an entire list.
Each individual choice on the list is called a category value. Values have certain details
associated with them: number, title, synonym, and abbreviation.
\Compiled profile - ANS - The options within activities that affect users can come from multiple
profile records. Epic looks at each of these levels to create a special collection of settings called
a compiled profile.
\Conditions - ANS - 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
\Contact - ANS - Is a date-specific snapshot of the data within a record
, \Deactivate a value - ANS - When you deactivate a value, you're essentially freezing it so that
value will no longer appear as a choice on the list. Additionally, you won't affect records that
have previously chosen that value.
When you're working in a production environment (actual patients and users), Epic recommends
deactivating values instead of deleting values.
1. In the Category List that you need to deactivate, click on the row of that value. Click
Deactivate. (The Active column for that value is now set to No.) If you would like to reactivate it,
with the value selected, click Activate.
2. Click Save.
• If you see a prompt that tells you that you cannot deactivate the value, it means this particular
list is not set up to allow deactivation at this time. When you deactivate a value, you're
essentially freezing it so that value will no longer appear as a choice on the list. Additionally, you
won't affect records that have previously chosen that value. When you're working in a
production environment (actual patients and users), Epic recommends deactivating values
instead of deleting values.

list is not set up to allow deactivation at this time.
\Default login department - ANS - A user will be assigned a default log in so that whenever the
user logs into EPIC the defaulted log in will occur, but will still have the option to manually
choose if needed.
\Describe how to view the names and ID numbers of print groups in Hyperspace when logged in
as an end user. - ANS - • Go to Help > Help Desk Reports.
• Double click on the Report & Print Group Assistant report to enable assistance.
• (As an administrator, you can also go to Reports > Show Report and Print Group IDs.)
\Describe how to view the names and ID numbers of print groups in Hyperspace when logged in
as an end user. - ANS - Epic Button > Help > Session Information Report > click Show Report
and Print Group IDs.
\Descriptors - ANS - Descriptors are the technical names of activities.
\Directive - ANS - 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.
\Does every USER need a ROLE to log into Hyperspace? - ANS - • Every user needs a role in
order to log in to Hyperspace.
