office procedures, review results, and send communications to patients.
EpicCare Inpatient (ClinDoc) correct answer: EpicCare Inpatient, also known as ClinDoc is much like EpicCare Ambulatory, except that the clinical tasks are done in the hospital on admitted patients.

Epic Bones correct answer: Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Epic Beaker correct answer: laboratory system for a hospital lab. Orders that are placed either in other parts of Epic or in an external system are transmitted to Beaker via an HL7 Interface1 for processing. When patients arrive to have their blood drawn, the results are entered into Beaker, which then get transmitted back to the ordering doctor.
Epic Bridges correct answer: module for installing, configuring and maintaining interfaces to systems outside of Epic. There are tools to set up the interface connections either to or from other interfaces, as well as monitoring of interface messages. Bridges supports HL7 interfaces, as well as other communications protocols.
* HL7 correct answer: Health Level Seven or HL7 refers to a set of international standards for transfer of clinical and administrative data between software applications used by various healthcare providers. These standards focus on the application layer, which is "layer 7" in the OSI model.
Epic Caboodle - aka Cogito Data Warehouse correct answer: The data warehouse and analytical tools used to store and retrieve large amounts of clinical data. The data can be queried to provide all manner of reporting to support care decisions, manage costs, and identify trends. Other data can be brought in from non-Epic systems, and then used along with Epic data to provide reporting results. Until mid-2016, the trade name for these tools was Cogito, from the Latin phrase ergo sum: "I think,
therefore I am". In mid-2016, Epic renamed it to "Cabooble", ie Kit & Caboodle. Get it?
