✔✔Explain the difference in how Chronicles stores and displays values in the Record
Viewer. - ✔✔The data in the Record Viewer is formatted for easy viewing. For example,
items that are part of a related
group are displayed next to each other, category items display both the value and the
name of the category they hold, and networked items display both the ID and the name
of the record they network to.
Keep in mind that the Record Viewer formatting does not necessarily translate to what
is stored in Clarity.
Observe the screenshot below.
78-COUNTRY United States of America [1]
This item, EPT 78, stores the patient's country of residence as part of a category list.
When displaying the
value for this item, the Record Viewer displays "United States of America [1]". Here we
see the category value of 1 in brackets, and the name of the category fully displayed.
However, the raw data stored in Chronicles is only what is included inside the brackets.
Thus, when the
item is extracted to Clarity, only the category value of "1" will carry over.
✔✔CHAPTER 2-Explain some limitations to the Item Information window as tool for
Chronicles research. - ✔✔The Item Information Window (Ctrl + Click)
The Ctrl + Click method typically works on read/write fields in Hyperspace. Although this
method is the most convenient way to find a piece of data, it does not work for all data
points. If a field is read-only, Ctrl + Click will often not work, and some read/write fields
simply aren't compatible with the control-left click method.
✔✔CHAPTER 2 - MRN - ✔✔Medical Record Number
✔✔CHAPTER 2 - No Add - ✔✔No‐Add items store data directly on a record, not a
specific contact. The value of a no‐add item should be considered true for all contacts
on that record.
For example, a patient's date of birth is a no‐add item, and you can assume that no
matter how many contacts the patient has, his date of birth is the same. If a No‐Add
item is changed, the old value is replaced.
✔✔CHAPTER 2 - Response Each Time (Overtime Add Type) - ✔✔Response each time
items store values separately on each of a record's contacts. If a response each time
item is blank for a certain contact, it should be considered unknown.
, For example, if a patient's blood pressure is not collected during a certain visit to the
doctor, you cannot assume that it has not changed since the last time the patient's
blood pressure was taken.
Since both response each time and lookback items store data on the contact, these add
types may collectively be referred to as overtime add types.
✔✔CHAPTER 2 - Lookback (Overtime Add Type) - ✔✔Lookback items store values
separately on each contact, but assume that the last value entered remains true until a
new value is entered.
For example, the system automatically enters a patient's age on each contact, but only
if their age is different from the last time the patient was seen.
Since both response each time and lookback items store data on the contact, these add
types may collectively be referred to as overtime add types.
✔✔CHAPTER 2-A Chronicles item can store one or more options from a limited list.

✔✔CHAPTER 2-A Chronicles item stores a single value, but can store a separate value
for each contact on a record. Which of the following could account for this behavior?
(Choose all that apply)
A. Single Response
B. Multiple Response
C. Networked
D. Overtime

✔✔CHAPTER 2-No-Add Data vs Overtime Data - ✔✔No‐Add data is stored at the
record level, while Overtime data is stored at the contact level.
✔✔CHAPTER 2-Single Response - ✔✔Only one line of data can be stored per contact.
