Introduction
The AMB400 EpicCare Ambulatory Administration certification
examination evaluates the build and configuration competence
required for analysts supporting ambulatory clinical operations. It
assesses knowledge of procedure hierarchy, order transmittal,
documentation tools, preference list management, results routing,
and regulatory compliance within the Epic electronic health record.
The exam emphasizes real-world application through scenario-
based items that require candidates to translate clinical workflow
requirements into system build decisions. Candidates must
demonstrate the ability to configure, troubleshoot, and maintain a
safe, efficient, and compliant ambulatory EHR environment that
supports patient care and organizational objectives.
SECTION ONE: QUESTIONS 1–200
,1. Which record type serves as the foundational building block
for all procedure configuration in EpicCare Ambulatory?
A. EDP (Epic Department Procedure)
B. EAP (Epic Ambulatory Procedure)
C. EDO (Epic Department Order)
D. ECG (Epic Code Group)
🟢 B. EAP (Epic Ambulatory Procedure)
🔴 RATIONALE: The EAP (Epic Ambulatory Procedure) master file
record defines the core clinical and administrative attributes of a
procedure. EDP records are department-level overrides that
inherit from the foundational EAP, making the EAP the primary
configuration record.
2. In the EAP/EDP procedure hierarchy, which configuration
takes precedence when settings conflict at the department
level?
A. EAP settings always override EDP settings
B. EDP settings override EAP settings for that department
C. The most recently modified record wins
D. Settings are determined by the user's security class
🟢 B. EDP settings override EAP settings for that department
🔴 RATIONALE: The Epic procedure hierarchy is designed so that
the EAP establishes system-wide defaults, while the EDP allows
department-specific customization. When a conflict exists, the
department-level EDP setting takes precedence for encounters in
that department.
3. A builder needs the same screening question to appear for
every diagnostic imaging procedure. What is the most efficient
configuration approach?
,A. Link the question to each EAP individually
B. Link the question at the procedure category level
C. Create a separate SmartPhrase for each procedure
D. Add the question to every Order Composer Configuration
record
🟢 B. Link the question at the procedure category level
🔴 RATIONALE: Linking a question at the procedure category
(EDP category) level ensures every procedure within that category
inherits the question automatically, reducing maintenance burden
and ensuring consistency across the imaging service line.
4. If Glucose is listed as a Result Component on a procedure
record, what is the primary effect for the end user?
A. The user must manually add Glucose each time results are
entered
B. Glucose appears by default in Enter/Edit Results, streamlining
documentation
C. The component is visible only in Flowsheets and not in Results
D. The component is suppressed from all reporting
🟢 B. Glucose appears by default in Enter/Edit Results,
streamlining documentation
🔴 RATIONALE: Pre-populating Result Components on the
procedure record means the component is available without
manual addition, reducing clicks and supporting efficient,
standardized result entry.
5. A procedure category for Lab Sent Outs has two buttons
configured for specimen collection status. What is the primary
purpose of these buttons?
, A. To document the courier's name and pickup time
B. To allow the user to indicate whether the specimen was
collected in-house or sent to an external laboratory
C. To bill the patient for the collection supplies
D. To generate a MyChart notification automatically
🟢 B. To allow the user to indicate whether the specimen was
collected in-house or sent to an external laboratory
🔴 RATIONALE: Collection status buttons on a lab sent-out
procedure category support accurate tracking of specimen
handling, which is essential for turnaround time monitoring,
billing, and clinical follow-up.
6. Which OCC context determines the display items that appear
when a provider searches for and selects an order?
A. Search context
B. Display context
C. Summary context
D. Routing context
🟢 B. Display context
🔴 RATIONALE: The OCC display context controls which fields,
buttons, and information appear on the order composer screen
when an order is being reviewed or signed, directly shaping the
ordering experience.
7. A provider reports that an order is showing an outdated
default dose. Which OCC configuration should the analyst
review first?
A. The order's routing context
B. The order's display context and default values
