What is a Record (file folders)?
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?
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)?
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?
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?
Question prompt on a standardized form
What is a Value?
The answer to that item (question prompt) on a standardized form
What is a Report?
1|Page
, Collection of information for users to review composed of print groups
What is a Print group?
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 User Web
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?
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?
A compiled profile, also called a composite profile, represents the collection of profile settings that will
impact a user
What is a Profile hierarchy?
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)
A department's (login dept) needs
-Location (EAF)
Clinic or hospital's needs
-Service Area (EAF)
Billing region's needs
-System Definitions (LSD)
Global (organization) all CLINICAL users
-Not to be confused with Facility Records (EAF), which impacts other organizational settings.
How a profile affects Chart Review, reports, and preference lists?
Since a profile determines how activities look and what options are available within that activity, the
settings of a profile affect all these activities.
How profiles interact with each other to create a compiled profile?
Epic compiles settings across profiles on an item-by-item basis, not screen-by-screen.
If you set a particular item on a screen in a user template-level profile but leave the rest of the screen
blank, the system takes the one setting from the user template-level profile and looks to the other levels
for the remaining settings
