EPIC BRIDGES EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 2025-2026
Trigger - correct answer- Serves as the integration point between
| | | | | | | | |
the application workflow and Bridges
| | | | |
-generally an action in Hyperspace, like clicking a button or closing
| | | | | | | | | |
an activity
| |
-a single, clearly defined action that a user or process can take that
| | | | | | | | | | | |
results in an interface message being created and sent
| | | | | | | | |
An interface message contains.... - correct answer- Data about an
| | | | | | | | |
event (like a patient being admitted to the hospital)
| | | | | | | | |
MSH-11 and MSH-12 are... - correct answer- the HL7 processing
| | | | | | | | |
ID and version; Epic checks these values on an incoming
| | | | | | | | | |
message and rejects the message if they do not match the
| | | | | | | | | | |
expected values
| |
Segment Identifier - correct answer- Three character code that
| | | | | | | |
identifies what kind of data that segment contains
| | | | | | | |
,2 | Page
| | | | | |
PID-5 - correct answer- patient name
| | | | |
NTE segment - correct answer- can follow many different
| | | | | | | |
segments
|
Z-segment - correct answer- custom segment for a specific
| | | | | | | |
implementation
|
Is it necessary to send empty fields following the last valued field?
| | | | | | | | | | |
- correct answer- No
| | | |
Within a field do you need to send all components? - correct
| | | | | | | | | | |
answer- Only as many as are valued
| | | | | | |
Blank fields... - correct answer- don't file anything
| | | | | | |
Delete character HL7 - correct answer- double quotes " "--- tells
| | | | | | | | | |
the receiving system to delete a piece of info it has
| | | | | | | | | | |
,3 | Page
| | | | | |
FHIR - correct answer- specifies RESTful exchange method via
| | | | | | | |
HTTPs to access data
| | | |
Other standards supported by Bridges - correct answer- X12,
| | | | | | | |
FHIR, NCPDP, DICOM, and Direct
| | | | |
Event (in context of outgoing message flow) - correct answer-
| | | | | | | | |
small set of values with the necessary info to build the
| | | | | | | | | | |
message: patient ID, patient contact, type of message, and | | | | | | | |
additional info
| |
-contains directions for where the interface should pull the | | | | | | | |
information it needs from the database
| | | | | |
Queue - correct answer- storage location outside of Chronicles
| | | | | | | |
database structure
| |
Event Queue is procesed by... - correct answer- the Event
| | | | | | | | |
Daemon
|
Daemon (Outgoing Message Flow) - correct answer- process that
| | | | | | | |
runs in the background without any direct user action
| | | | | | | | |
, 4 | Page
| | | | | |
Event Daemon (Outgoing Message Flow) - correct answer- pulls
| | | | | | | |
an event off the Event Queue, uses the information in the event to
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
build the message and finally deletes the event from the event
| | | | | | | | | | |
queue.
|
The event daemon puts the message it has built onto the data
| | | | | | | | | | |
queue and adds an instruction to the Control Queue
| | | | | | | | |
builds an HL7 message based on data pulled from Chronicles
| | | | | | | | |
Data Queue (Outgoing Message Flow) - correct answer- contains
| | | | | | | |
the full text of the message along with some additional metadata
| | | | | | | | | | |
(i.e. timestamp) about message processing
| | | | |
Control Queue (Outgoing Message Flow) - correct answer- a
| | | | | | | |
to-do list and contains very little data
| | | | | | |
-processed by the Communications Daemon | | | |
-maintains a list of messages waiting to be processed | | | | | | | |
Comm Deamon (Outgoing Message Flow) - correct answer-
| | | | | | |
reads an instruction from the Control Queue and copies the
| | | | | | | | | |
appropriate message off the Data Queue
| | | | | |
