11.0 Rules Flashcards
For a CLOSE ENCOUNTER CHECK, where do you list your rules?
In an extension record (CER)
For a CLOSE ENCOUNTER CHECK, where do you list your extensions?
In a profile.
How are RULE records organized?
Rule (CER) –>
Extension (LPP) –>
Profile (LPR)
How is EVALUATION LOGIC STRUCTURED?
Criterion = Propery + Operator + Value
What happens WHEN AN ENESTHESIA PROVIDER CLOSES AN ANESTHESIA ENCOUNTER?
The system checks for missing documentation.
Anesthesia kind of record is checked for documentat6ion before allowing a provider to close (sign) an anesthesia record?
An extension record ﴾LPP﴿.
What are EXTENSIONS?
A way for administrators to change the behavior of Epic software. (Little package of code to give you flexibility.)
What are RULES?
Use logical expressions to identify if records meet or do not meet specific criteria. (If statements that evaluate to TRUE or FALSE.)
What do you use to create new and edit existing CER records?
The Rule Editor
What returns values from a record or multiple records in the system?
Properties
What Represents relationships between two sets of values?
Operators, e.g. ﴾equals﴿, <> ﴾does not equal﴿, Contain All, and Not Contain
Was are compared to your property?
Values. A value might be a static value that you enter or a piece of dynamic data ﴾such as “today’s date”﴿.
What is a Criterion?
Each criterion compares the property with the value﴾s﴿ as determined by
the operator. It will evaluate to either true or false.
What is the RULE ERROR MESSAGE FIELD do?
Used to set text for a message that displays to end users if the rule evaluates to true. The error message is enclosed by “” that do not appear to end users.
What happens when a RULE IS TRUE?
Something happens.
What do we call a property that is not looking to the original master file for comparison?
We refer to this as an indirect property.
What kind of logic is being used if the rule will evaluate to True only when both criteria are met?
AND Logic
You will encounter an error.
You will encounter an error.
What kind of logic is being used if instead you wanted this rule to be true when either of the criteria were met?
OR logic
What are the TWO TYPES OF CLOSE ENCOUNTER CHECKS?
Required and Recommended.
What do REQUIRED CHECKS do?
Prevent the anesthesia encounter from being closed until the documentation is completed.
What do you modified in extension record to make them execute properly?
You modify PARAMETERS.
What are PARAMETERS?
Pieces of information within an extension’s code that allow for configuration of the extension.
You will use a parameter to add your new rule to the extension and WHAT ELSE?
Create a hyperlink for your error message.
Where must most extension records have to be validated?
In Text.
What does an ACTIVTY DESCRIPTER do?
Creates a hyperlink that points to the Anesthesia Toolkit ﴾the activity that houses the responsible staff activity﴿.
How many criteria can you use within one rule?
As many as you need. A rule can contain one or more criteria.
You want a rule that evaluates to true if an anesthesia resident has not been documented as the responsible provider for a case. Does the rule in the screenshot below meet this need?
No ‐ The current rule is saying that the Anesthesia Responsible Staff activity has a value of Anesthesia resident as responsible staff for the case. To make this rule meet the scenario above you would need to change the operator to not contain all.
After you build the CER rule looking for specific documentation, what do you need to do to make sure that it affects your end users when using the Requirements navigator section?
Modify your close encounter extension to include your new rule, make sure your extension is linked to a profile, and make sure the profile is affecting your end users.
