1
,1. "Generalized abdominal pain [248134]" is an example of a/an...
A. Master File
B. Record
C. Contact
D. Value
• Answer: D. Value
• Rationale: A value is the specific data stored within a field (item) for a particular record
and contact.
2. Nurses and medical assistants working in the obstetrics department see several Chart
Review tabs, but obstetricians see more tabs. Why might this be? Select ALL that apply.
A. A profile containing more tabs is linked to the obstetrics department.
B. A profile containing more tabs is linked to the obstetrician's EpicCare Security Class.
C. The obstetricians are linked to a different Role.
D. The obstetricians have a different User record profile.
• Answer: B and D
• Rationale: The Profile hierarchy determines which tabs are visible in Chart Review.
Because both groups work in the same department, the difference must come from a
more specific level, such as the Security Class or the individual User record.
3. Which level of the profile hierarchy is the most general?
A. User
B. EpicCare Security Class
C. Department
D. System Definitions
• Answer: D. System Definitions
• Rationale: System Definitions (LSD) is at the very bottom of the hierarchy, meaning its
settings apply to everyone unless overridden by a more specific level.
2
,4. True or False: A user can be linked to multiple Roles at once to combine their security
settings.
• Answer: False
• Rationale: A user can only be linked to one Role (E2R) at a time, which defines their
workspace layout. Security is handled by Security Classes (ECL), not Roles.
5. Which record controls the startup activity a user sees when they log in?
A. Security Class
B. Profile
C. Role
D. Workflow Engine Rule
• Answer: C. Role
• Rationale: The Role (E2R) record determines the look and feel of Hyperspace, including
the startup activity and the arrangement of the main toolbar.
6. What is the correct hierarchy for Profiles, from most specific to most general?
A. System Definitions, Service Area, Location, Department, Security Class, User
B. User, Security Class, Department, Location, Service Area, System Definitions
C. User, Department, Security Class, Location, Service Area, System Definitions
D. Security Class, User, Department, Location, Service Area, System Definitions
• Answer: B. User, Security Class, Department, Location, Service Area, System Definitions
• Rationale: This represents the "Rule of Specificity," where the system looks at the User
level first and works its way down to System Definitions until it finds a setting.
7. To give a user access to a specific activity, like "Chart Review," you must assign them a:
A. Security Point
B. Profile
C. Role
D. Menu Record
• Answer: A. Security Point
• Rationale: Security points are the individual "keys" that grant access to specific
functionalities within a security class.
8. Which Master File is used to store information about the physical places where patients
are seen?
A. EPT
3
, B. SER
C. EAF
D. ECL
• Answer: C. EAF
• Rationale: The EAF (Entity) master file is used for the facility structure, including
Locations and Departments.
9. A user needs to see a "Microbiology" tab in Chart Review that no one else in their
department sees. Where should you configure this?
A. In the Department record
B. In the User’s Role
C. In the User’s Profile
D. In System Definitions
• Answer: C. In the User’s Profile
• Rationale: To affect only a single user, you must make the change at the most specific
level of the profile hierarchy: the User level (LPR).
10. In Chronicles, what is an "Item"?
A. A folder containing patient data
B. A prompt for data, like "Date of Birth"
C. A specific person's name
D. A specific encounter date
• Answer: B. A prompt for data, like "Date of Birth"
• Rationale: An item is a discrete field or question within a master file that holds a specific
piece of information.
11. Which record can change a user's workspace based on the patient's age or the type of
visit?
A. Role
B. Profile
C. Workflow Engine Rule
D. Security Class
• Answer: C. Workflow Engine Rule
