How do values appear prior to filing them to a patient's chart? How doe they appear after they
are filed? Values have a grayed edge in their cell prior to being filed. Values do not have this
icon after filing.
True or False? If a clinician closes a patient's chart without clicking File in the Flowsheets
activity, any unfiled data in the flowsheet is lost. False. The system automatically files any
pending data when the end user changes flowsheet templates, leaves the Flowsheets activity,
closes the patient's chart, or logs out.
If a clinician enters WDL in the "Within Defined Limits" row for a system, what does this mean?
"WDL" means that all values taken within that system fall within the defined range. No other
data needs to be entered.
True or False? Epic does not have an audit trail for values in Flowsheets that have been edited or
deleted. False. Epic does have an audit trail for edited or deleted data, and any values that
have been edited or deleted are flagged.
How does a nurse document that all values are normal except for a few? Enter an "X" in the
WDL row. (This documents that all values are within defined limits, except...) Then enter the
abnormal information in the appropriate rows.
Where can a nurse look to find information on the "defined" values for a given row? A nurse
can view the Row Information in the Details report on the right side of the screen. This gives
him information about normal values, possible choices, and the last filed data. If the Details
report is hidden, click the left facing arrow in the middle or the right side of the screen to
expand the report.
, When a nurse does into a flowsheet and wants to enter new values, what should be done
before documenting any information to ensure the data is entered under the correct date and
time? The nurse should click the Add COl button or the ow hyperlink. This drops a new
column with the current date and time. If charging values taken in the past, the Insert Col
button should be used.
In the Problem List section of the navigator, how can you indicate what the patient's principal
problem is? What must this problem be marked as first? You select the check box in the
Principal column after indicating that the problem is a hospital problem.
What is a SmartText and how can it be pulled in to a note? A SmartText is a template for
writing a note. It can be pulled in from the Insert SmartText field.
Embedded within a SmartText are SmartLists. How can you start filling out a SmartList? Make a
selection? Accept your selection? To start filling out a SmartList using the mouse, use the
Next Field option (under the All Other Tools menu). To make a selection, left-click, and to accept
your selection, right-click.
True or False? a note can be signed even if all of the SmartLists have not been completed.
False. All SmartLists and wildcards must be completed before the note can be signed.
What is the purpose of a wildcard? A wildcard, denoted by ***, is intended to provide the
clinician with a place to enter free text.
True or False? When creating a User SmartPhrase that includes a SmartText, a physician should
insert the SmartText into the note before clicking the green plus sign. False. If you are
creating a User SmartPhrase that contains a SmartText, click the green plus sign first. Then, pull
your SmartText in to your note window. This prevents any patient-specific information from
being saved in your template.
