Exam Comprehensive Study Guide
and Practice Test Bank Review for
2026/2027 Preparation
Question 1:
When editing a category list in Chronicles such as the Allergy Reaction category list,
you may see the message: “Release Range: All Customer Owned.” What does this
message indicate?
A. This is a system list maintained only by Epic and cannot be edited
B. This list is reserved for future use and has no values
C. This is a customer-owned list that can be customized by each organization
D. This is an extendible list with restricted Epic-controlled ranges
Correct Answer: C. This is a customer-owned list that can be customized by each
organization
Rationale: “Customer Owned” indicates that the organization has full control to
maintain and modify the category list according to its operational needs. Option A is
incorrect because system lists are Epic-controlled and not customer editable. Option B
is incorrect because values do exist and are usable. Option D is incorrect because
extendible lists involve Epic-controlled ranges with specific rules, unlike fully
customer-owned lists.
Question 2:
When editing a category list in Chronicles such as Allergy Reaction, what two pieces
of information are required to add a new item?
A. Release range
B. INI
C. Item number
D. Default value
Correct Answer: B. INI and C. Item number
Rationale: To correctly add a new item, the system requires the INI (which defines the
category structure/context) and the item number (which uniquely identifies the entry).
Release range is already defined at the list level and default values are optional
configuration details, not required identifiers for item creation.

Question 3:
A healthcare organization has two geographical service areas: Milwaukee and
Madison, and patients receive separate bills per area. How many service areas exist in
the facility structure?
A. 0
B. 1
C. 2
D. 3
Correct Answer: C. 2
Rationale: Service areas represent distinct billing and operational zones within a
facility. Since Milwaukee and Madison each generate separate billing structures, they
are configured as two service areas. Options A and B underestimate the structure,
while option D adds an unsupported extra division.
Question 4:
In Epic facility hierarchy, what term best describes the hospital where a patient
receives care?
A. Location
B. Facility
C. Department
D. Workstation
Correct Answer: A. Location
Rationale: In Epic build terminology, a “Location” refers to a physical site such as a
hospital or clinic where care is delivered. Facilities, departments, and workstations
represent lower-level organizational or functional structures within that location
hierarchy.
Question 5:
When implementing a customized version of an Epic-released Summary Report with
added print groups, what is the correct sequence of steps?
A. Link profile → Duplicate report → Add print group
B. Duplicate report → Add print group → Link profile
C. Add print group → Duplicate report → Link profile
D. Duplicate report → Link profile → Add print group
,2026/2027
Correct Answer: B. Duplicate report → Add print group → Link profile
Rationale: The correct workflow begins by duplicating the Epic-released report
because it cannot be directly edited. After duplication, modifications such as adding
print groups are applied. Finally, the modified report is linked to the appropriate
profile so users can access it. The other sequences either attempt editing before
duplication or assign users before configuration is complete.
Question 6:
A Workflow Engine rule assigns different navigator templates based on visit type. For
a WELL CHILD visit, the system displays T_MODEL_MR_NURSE_PEDS_VISIT.
Is this statement true or false?
A. True
B. False
C. Partially true
D. Cannot be determined
Correct Answer: A. True
Rationale: The rule explicitly maps the WELL CHILD visit type to the pediatric nurse
navigator template T_MODEL_MR_NURSE_PEDS_VISIT. Workflow Engine logic
applies condition-based routing, ensuring the correct navigator appears based on visit
classification.
Question 7:
In an Emergency Department setup with 42 nurses, 26 physicians, and 12 ED techs,
how many user records are needed?
A. 68
B. 42
C. 80
D. 12
Correct Answer: C. 80
Rationale: User records are required for every individual who must log into the
system. Therefore, 42 nurses + 26 physicians + 12 ED techs = 80 total user records.
Each role requires a unique login identity regardless of system privileges.
Question 8:
Using the same ED scenario, how many provider records are needed?
, 2026/2027
A. 42
B. 26
C. 68
D. 80
Correct Answer: C. 68
Rationale: Provider records are created for clinicians who document care or place
orders. In this case, both nurses and physicians require provider records (42 + 26 =
68). ED techs do not require provider records because they do not document clinical
care or place orders.
Question 9:
Which master file controls access to clinical capabilities such as vitals, medications,
and immunizations during patient rooming?
A. Role
B. Profile
C. Security Class
D. Department
Correct Answer: C. Security Class
Rationale: Security Class controls clinical permissions such as documentation,
medication administration, and patient care activities. Roles define interface behavior,
and profiles control workflow configuration, but Security Class determines what
clinical actions a user can perform.
Question 10:
Which master file controls toolbar items such as encounter and refill buttons in
Hyperspace?
A. Role
B. Profile
C. Security Class
D. Workstation
Correct Answer: A. Role
Rationale: Roles determine the Hyperspace layout, including toolbar buttons and
activity access. Profiles control report and workflow configurations, while Security
Class focuses on clinical permissions rather than interface layout.
