name/ID? a. Ctrl + Click b. Category List Maintenace c. Record Viewer d.

Answer: c. Record Viewer
• True/False: Section records can be linked to mroe than one lab record.
Answer: false
,• A(n) __________ is a discrete field within a record..
Answer: Item
• controlled items.
Answer: which fields are recommended or required in the order composer
• a new laboratory at the organization would like their specimen IDs
formatted with the counter beginning at 1000. Which record could be set to
have the counter being at 1000? 1. each section that belongs to the new lab
2. the new labs lab record 3. beaker facility record 4. the general epic facility
record.
Answer: each section that belongs to the new lab the new labs lab record
• Use this scenario to answer questions 1, 2, and 3: You need to create custom
procedure records for four lab urine tests. All lab urine tests should 1) share
the same Summary Sentence and display items when ordered for inpatients,
2) share the same Summary Sentence and display items when ordered for
outpatients, and 3) share settings for order classes and order type so they go
through order transmittal in the same way. Which record defines the display
and summary items? Choose only ONE answer. a. Order Composer
Configuration (OCC) b. Procedure (EAP) c. Procedure Category (EDP) d.
System Definitions.
Answer: a. Order Composer Configuration (OCC)
• When an order is placed the system searches through 3 records to find the
order's settings, what are they?.
Answer: more specific to more general: procedure, procedure category,
system definitions
• OCC.
Answer: Order composer configuration
• True or False: For a mnemonic to be available for use for a particular test,
you must list the mnemonic in the test record. Hint: This question refers to
manual use of the mnemonic, not automatic/reflexive..
Answer: False.
, • Builder Sam tells Builder Jamie that they're building a component that will
be used to document the color of a urine specimen. Sam tells Jamie "If you
type the number "1", it will fill in the color "Yellow". That means I should
use the "Number" option for this record's Entry Data Type! Plus, I want the
color "Red [4]" to be flagged as abnormal, and you can only do abnormal
checking with number components." Jamie replies "No, Sam. That's not the
right value for Entry Data Type. You should choose "category" instead."
Who is correct? Why?.
Answer: Jamie is correct! While values on a category list do have numeric
identifiers (like "Red [4]"), they are still category values. If you want a
result component to be "choose from a list of options" like the one in this
scenario, the right Data Type to use is indeed "Category". Additionally, it is
definitely possible to use Abnormal checking on Category components.
Sorry, Sam!
• True or False: Susceptibility tests must be added on manually to an isolate..
Answer: False.
• What is the function of result type? Choose only ONE answer. a. To indicate
if results will be number, category, or free test. b. To limit who can enter
results for a test. c. To control the look and available fields when entering
results from the Outstanding List. d. To determine the order of results that
should be posted to the patient's chart..
Answer: c. To control the look and available fields when entering results
from the Outstanding List.
• true/false: If TAT values are configured at both the beaker facility record
and laboratory 'A' record, epic will use the settings defined in the beaker
record for the test performed in lab A.
Answer: False- more specific will get chosen
• rule of specificity.
Answer: epic will use the most specific setting.
• For efficient build, where should you link to an OCC record? Choose only
