BUNDLED ANSWERS GRADED A+
⩥ What is a Master file (drawers)? Answer: Information in Chronicles is
organized into master files. Each master file stores all the data about one
type of thing. For example, one master file has information about
patients.
Some are updated constantly (called dynamic), while some are only
updated by administrators (called administrative or static).
⩥ What is the abbreviated name called for each master file? Answer:
Each master file has an abbreviated name called the INI. A master's file
INI is a three-character initial. For example, Patients is EPT.
⩥ What is a Record (file folders)? Answer: Records store information
about one specific entity in the master file. For example, each patient has
one record in the EPT master file.
⩥ How are records identified? Answer: Each record has a name and
identification number (ID).
While two names within the same master file might be the same, IDs
must be unique.
,⩥ What are Contact (Sheets of paper)? Answer: A date-specific snapshot
of the data within are cord. For example, a patient's one hospital stay is
documented in a contact.
Can contain many different types, such as hospital encounters,
appointments, and telephone encounters.
In administrative master files, such as Medications, contacts do not
represent hospital encounters or appointments. Instead, they represent a
date specific change in the information.
⩥ What is the purpose of contacts, and what happens to old values when
a contact is updated? Answer: Purpose is to make a change to the record
that will become effective on a specific date.
This meaning prior to effective date, old values will be used, and on date
of contact and forward, new values will become effective.
⩥ What is an Item? Answer: Question prompt on a standardized form
⩥ What is a Value? Answer: The answer to that item (question prompt)
on a standardized form
⩥ What is a Report? Answer: Collection of information for users to
review composed of print groups
⩥ What is a Print group? Answer: Information presented to the user
from Chronicles by looking at specific items and values.
, ⩥ Explain the benefits of looking for print groups in the Data Handbook
on the UserWeb Answer: You can filter them based on application,
report style, etc. in order to find a print group already made that best fits
your user's need rather than creating one
⩥ What is a Profile? Answer: Profile (LPR) records configure options
within activities a user can access.
If a user has the appropriate security point(s) to access an activity, the
system looks to the profiles to determine how that activity looks and
what options are available within that activity
⩥ What is a Compiled profile? Answer: A compiled profile, also called a
composite profile, represents the collection of profile settings that will
impact a user
⩥ What is a Profile hierarchy? Answer: Six different levels
Epic looks at each of these levels to create a compiled profile, going
from specific to general:
-User Template (EMP)
Individuals with exceptional needs
-EpicCare Security Class (ECL)
A job's exceptional needs
-Department (DEP)
