Important Epic Systems EDI101 Exam Questions

Answer: B, C, D

Explanation:

In Bridges, an error is tied to a specific instance of a message. Resubmitting or retriggering a message (Options B and D) essentially tells the system to try again or create a new message, which clears or 'deletes' the error status associated with the previous failed attempt. Additionally, users can manually select Delete Error within an Error Log Report (Option C) to administratively clear an error that no longer requires action. Releasing an error from a workqueue (Option A) merely removes it from that specific list; it does not delete the error from the system logs.

Answer: A

Explanation:

'Skipping' a message is a corrective action used to move a message out of the processing queue when it is blocking other messages or contains data that should not be filed. If a message has already been processed (successfully filed or completed its lifecycle), it is no longer in the active queue to be skipped. You can only skip messages that are currently in a 'waiting' or 'error' status within the active queues.

Answer: A

Explanation:

The Message Search activity in Bridges is designed for flexibility. One of its core features is the ability to select multiple interface specifications or even all interfaces within a search. This allows an analyst to track a patient's data across different systems (e.g., searching for both Lab and Pharmacy messages simultaneously) in a single consolidated result list.

Answer: B

Explanation:

In Epic's Identity framework, an ID Type is explicitly linked to a single Chronicles master file (e.g., EPT for patients, SER for providers). This one-to-one relationship ensures that the system knows exactly which master file to search when an ID of that type is received in a message. You cannot use a single ID Type definition to identify both a patient and a provider.

Answer: C, D

Explanation:

The Specification Audit Report is designed to track configuration changes---the 'build' of the interface. It records modifications to critical connectivity settings like the Port and IP Address (Option C) and functional logic changes in Profile Variables (Option D). Operational data like Message Volume (Option A) or active Interface Alerts (Option B) are monitored in real-time activities and are not part of the static specification audit.
