Which record will be used to determine what labels should print? - ANSWERSEMH Reference Lab, laboratory record Which of the following records might the system search to translate a generic printer class to a specific label printer device? Choose ALL answers that apply. - ANSWERSWorkstation (LWS) Department (DEP) Location (EAF) Property - ANSWERSItem in a record to test Operator - ANSWERS=,<,>, Does Not Equal, Contains, etc. Value - ANSWERSSpecific response tested against Thinking about which dynamic record is used to store collection information, which rule context should we use? - ANSWERSLab Specimen Context True statements - ANSWERSare a summary of all conditions in the rule. You should then record the true statement in the description of the rule record in addition to any other helpful information about the rule's purpose or function. AND: - ANSWERSall conditions must be true for the rule to be true OR: - ANSWERSany condition must be true for the rule to be true NOT/AND NOT - ANSWERSall but <x> must be true for the rule to be true custom evaluation logic, - ANSWERSyou can use different logical operators together. What important info is included in the help text for a rule field? - ANSWERSThis typically includes the context a rule must have to be linked here and the outcome if the rule evaluates to true. How are filter rules different from most other rules in Epic? - ANSWERSIn filter rule fields, for the action to occur, the rule must evaluate to false Think about which dynamic record is used to store information regarding an organism that was identified in a culture test. What should the context of your rule be? - ANSWERSLab Result Context When does this property return "Yes" as its value? (Hint: read the help text for this property.) - ANSWERSWhen the same organism has been previously identified for this patient within the Lookback window Think about which dynamic record is used to store a Pap interpretation. What should the context of your rule be? - ANSWERSLab Result Context Rule cannot be linked - ANSWERSMake sure the rule context matches the context for the field. Rule is not evaluating correctly - ANSWERSCheck the conditions to confirm that the correct properties are evaluated. Confirm connection logic between conditions is correct. Use Rule Tester to figure out which part of the rule is evaluating incorrectly. Rule consistently evaluates the opposite of what is expected - ANSWERSMake sure you are not in a filter rule field. Check evaluation logic. What controls where you can use a rule? Choose only one answer. - ANSWERSRule Context What does rule evaluation logic control? Choose all that apply. - ANSWERSHow conditions are grouped Which conditions need to be true for the rule to be true What is true about the rule tester? Choose all that apply. - ANSWERSIt only allows records that meet the context of the rule It shows if each condition passes or fails It shows if the rule passed or failed as a whole Khalil, an analyst at your organization, has built a new lab specimen context rule that has a true statement of, "this rule should evaluate to true for blood specimens in either red top plain or SST containers that were collected over 1 week ago". Based on the parameters that Khalil has entered for this new rule, and the rule's true statement, how should Khalil set up the evaluation logic for this rule? - ANSWERS1 and 2 and (3 or 4) You are reviewing Khalil's rule, and although it will work as intended, you believe Khalil could have built his rule more efficiently. What could Khalil change to achieve a more efficient rule build? Chose only one answer. - ANSWERSHe could delete one of his Specimen Type parameters and add the value that was listed in it to his other Specimen Type parameter. You are trying to link a rule to determine the turnaround time (TAT) for specimens in your lab. However, you cannot link your rule to this field. What might be causing this issue? Choose only ONE answer. - ANSWERSThe rule you are trying to link has the wrong rule context. System - ANSWERSThe system automatically applies these holds based on defined events and rules. The system automatically clears these holds when the evaluation of the rule changes. Users with the appropriate security can also clear these holds manually. User - ANSWERSUsers apply these holds manually through the Holds activity. Users clear these holds manually. Creating a new hold involves the following steps: - ANSWERSCreate a value on the Holds category list (LDF 51860). Define the hold in the Beaker facility record (LDF 1) on the Holds Definitions form. Create a rule in the Rule Editor. Attach the hold at any level of the hierarchy to automatically apply it using an event and a rule. The system searches the following records: Test (OVT) > Laboratory (LDF) > Beaker Facility (LDF 1). User holds only need steps 1&2, because users decide when to apply the hold. System Category List - ANSWERSUneditable, controlled by Epic. Release Range: All Categories Extendible Category List - ANSWERSThese category lists are partially controlled by Epic, meaning certain values on the list are uneditable. The Epic-reserved values on these category lists are used by configuration elsewhere in the system. Customer Category List - ANSWERSThese category lists are entirely controlled by the customer organization. Epic might have values loaded into the category list, but each organization can choose to add, remove, or change these values on its own. Hard Hold - ANSWERSPrevents specimen processing. Warning (delta) - ANSWERSPresents a warning and requires acknowledgement, but does not prevent user from verifying. FYI - ANSWERSDoes not present a warning or prevent specimen processing. Used to record additional information about patient or specimen. Persistence - ANSWERSControls whether a hold must be cleared by a user (persistent) or whether it can be cleared by a background job (not persistent) Batching - ANSWERSControls if a test with this hold can be added to batches Outstanding List (O.L.) - ANSWERSControls if a test with this hold appears on the Outstanding List (this can be overridden in the Outstanding List report settings) Applies To?: - ANSWERSControls if the hold will prevent preliminary and/or final verification Inherit - ANSWERSchecks and applies additional holds defined at more general levels of the hierarchy in addition to holds at the current level. Override - ANSWERSonly checks holds defined at the current level of the hierarchy. Describe the steps you would take if you needed to change the name of the hold. - ANSWERSYou edit this value on the holds category list (LDF 51860). The hold we configured is a hard hold. In what record and form was this determined? - ANSWERSBeaker Facility Record- Holds Definitions form IF: Hold cannot be manually applied - ANSWERSMake sure the hold is a value of category list LDF 51860 Make sure the hold is defined as the correct type in the facility record IF: Hold cannot be automatically applied - ANSWERSMake sure the hold is a value of category list LDF 51860 Make sure the hold is defined as the correct type in the facility record Check that the hold is listed in either the Test, Lab, or Facility level and triggered by an event and rule Verify rule is evaluating correctly (check rule troubleshooting steps) Check hold inheritance at that level of the hierarchy and any more specific levels
