Chapter 2-Dashboard - ANSDashboards are often the first thing users see when they log into
Epic every day. Dashboards are the hub of reporting and analytics in Epic, and consolidate data
from all corners of your healthcare system.
Chapter 2-Component - ANSA component is a single graph or table or other piece of
functionality that users will interact with on the dashboard. Components are the building blocks
of a dashboard, and are the primary way to add new content or remove content from a
dashboard.
Chapter 2-Dashboard View - ANSThe ability to change settings on the dashboard. Users with
appropriate Radar security can:
*Add new components to their dashboard
*Change the parameters on dashboard reports or summaries
*Add or remove links from individual components
*Create their own new components
Chapter 2-Dashboard Editor - ANSThe tool that allows the ability to modify a source dashboard.
The Dashboard Editor can be used to view the settings of any dashboard in your system, but
only custom‐built dashboards can be modified. Epic‐released dashboards will be read only.
Chapter 2-Component Editor - ANSComponents are managed in the Component Editor.
There are seven types of component records available in Radar. They are:
Graph
Link
Message Board
Native HTML
Report Listing
Table
Every component has five forms:
Basic Information
Display
Data Source
Output Format
Access
Chapter 2-Activity Descriptor - ANSThe Active activity descriptor field displays for your currently
active Hyperspace activity. There are two Hyperspace workflows that can find the activity
descriptor for a given activity.
,Chapter 2-View Manager - ANSThe View Manager allows users to create new views, delete
unused views, or jump into "Edit Layout mode" on their existing views.
When a user clicks the wrench icon next to a view, they are able to:
*Drag and drop components to rearrange their dashboard view.
*Click on an individual component to change the name, color, or size of the component.
*Click and drag between components to resize them within the layout
*When they are done editing their view, the user clicks Save and Accept on the bottom of the
screen.
Chapter 2-Assuming a user has the appropriate report group to access a dashboard, what other
dashboard settings control whether the dashboard is available for viewing? - ANSThe Ready for
use and Enabled for user selection check boxes.
Chapter 2-Which of the following do you need to create a link from a dashboard to a given
Hyperspace
activity?
A. The activity descriptor for the activity
B. The menu descriptor of the activity
C. The user-facing name of the activity
D. The parent menu of the activity record - ANSA-The activity descriptor for the activity
Chapter 2-You have built a component record. Which of the following could explain why the
component does not appear on a specific dashboard?
A. The component is not set as ready for use
B. The component is not listed on the Content form of the dashboard
C. The component and the dashboard do not share any report groups
D. The component has not been marked as enabled for user selection - ANSB-The component
is not listed on the Content form of the dashboard
Chapter 2-True or False. Components require a defined Display title on the Display form. -
ANSTRUE-This is a required field
Chapter 2-Data Model - ANSOrganized data that is related to each other
Chapter 3-Filter - ANSFDS Record. Which is a record that can be used to filter, slice or measure
data. The word filter is used in SlicerDicer to refer to the many data points that can be used as
criteria, slices, measures, and display columns. The POPULATION starts with a base and is
refined using criteria. The available criteria come from filters.
Chapter 3-Base - ANSDepending on which data model you are working with, SlicerDicer will use
a different base to define your population. For example:
Data Model Base
, *Admissions—All Admissions
*IP Pharmacy Medication Orders—All Inpatient Medication Orders
*Imaging Studies—All Imaging Studies
Chapter 3-Criteria - ANSCriteria are often the first pieces of a population that a user modifies.
Criteria refine a population to only
the desired records.
Chapter 3-Measures - ANSMeasures are calculations on the selected records - for instance, the
total count of patients matching some criteria, or the average duration of inpatient stays.
Chapter 3-Slices - ANSFILTERS THAT ARE USED TO GROUP THE DATA.
Slices are ways to divide the records you're searching - for instance, comparing visits by
departments, or patients by age range
Chapter 3-Exclusive Criteria - ANSExclusion criteria are a set of predefined definitions that is
used to identify data that will not be included
Chapter 3-True or False: SlicerDicer can be used to report on any data that has ever been
entered into Epic - ANSFalse. SlicerDicer can only be used to report on data that has been
extracted to the Caboodle.
Chapter 3-A SlicerDicer population is showing all smokers with PCPs in your clinic. You would
like to see these patients grouped by their different PCPs, with one bar per provider. How would
you do this?
Choose only ONE answer.
A. Add a criterion
B. Change your measure
C. Add a slice
D. Change your visualization - ANSC-Add a Slice
Chapter 4-Database - ANSA database is an organized collection of data. In many reporting
tools, databases are also called data sources. The purpose of a database defines its structure.
Chapter 4-Chronicles - ANSEpic data lineage starts with Chronicles. This is where nurses,
registrars, doctors, billers, and other users enter data. Chronicles is a "Tree Based Database".
Chapter 4-Master File - ANSChronicles is first divided into master files. Master files contain
information about a broad subject. For example, the patient master file contains all patients'
medical records in Epic. Other examples include master files for medications, procedures,
orders, notes, and departments.
