Facility Structure Build Diagram - ANS Facility (EAF1)- Service Area (EAF) > Location (EAF) >
Department (DEP) > Facility (LDF1) Laboratory > Section (LDF)
Rule of Specificitiy - ANS The system uses the most specific setting available. If a setting is not
found at the most specific level, the system keeps searching for the next most specific setting.
Before you create a ____ _____, you must first create a __________ _________. -
ANS Laboratory record (LDF), Department Record (DFP)
Specimen ID Set Up: 25H-237C0001 - ANS 25 (year)H(lab)-237(Julian Day)C(section
code)0001(counter)
Which part of the specimen ID can be variable? - ANS Counter, if lab has an unexpected
number of specimens in a day, it will exceed the set number of the counter. The counter is also
section specific, not universal.
Where is the section code determined? - ANS Section record
When building your laboratory record, you must set up __________ __ _____________. -
ANS Specimen ID formatting, if you omit this step, you will not be able to print labels and

True or false: If turnaround time values are configured at both the Beaker facility record and
Laboratory "A" record, Epic will use the settings defined in the Beaker facility record for a test
performed in Lab A. - ANS False
True or False: Section records (LDF) can be linked to more than on laboratory record (LDF) -
ANS False
While providers ______ a procedure (EAP), the lab _____ a test (OVT). - ANS order, performs
Settings made in a procedure category affect..... - ANS All procedures that belong to that
category
Settings made in a procedure affect...... - ANS Only that procedure
Settings that can only be made at the procedure level - ANS Record purpose (orderable),
Synonyms, *Allowed and default specimen types, *Allowed and default specimen sources.
What is ordered by the provider, often from a preference list - ANS Procedure (EAP)
Utilized to set defaults that are shared between multiple procedures - ANS Procedure
Category (EDP)
When an order is placed, the system searches through three records to find that order's
settings: - ANS Procedure (EAP), Procedure category (EDP) and System definitions (LSD)
