What function does security perform in Epic?
Access to functionality. What a user is or is not allowed to do in the system.
What is a security point? What is a security class? Explain the difference
A security point grants access to a single piece of functionality. (It's like a key) A security class is a collection of security points (it's like the key ring) Users are linked to a security classes either directly or via a template: Users are NOT directly linked to a security point.
What three security classes does every user need?
In Basket, Shared, and Reporting Workbench
Which type of security controls access to hospital functionality, like the MAR and Doc flowsheets?
Inpatient security
Your organization wants its hospital charge nurses to have administrative access to the Patient List activity (IP Security point 1: Patient List Administrator) Otherwise, their access should be the same as that of other inpatient nurses (Who use Model IP Nurse IP security class) How would you efficiently take care of this need?
Duplicate the Model IP Nurse IP Security Class and call the Duplicate something like IP Charge Nurse. Add to the duplicate the desired security point. Link all of the charge nurses users records to this duplicate security class.
You are trying to build a subtemplate but the items you want to set are grayed out. What did you forget?
You forgot to put those items in the “Defined” column of the Items Defined form.
What function does the Role Record perform in Epic?
A role record determines the configuration and behavior of Hyperspace.
Name two things that are defined by your role record.
Roles define your default Startup Activity, the Hyperspace toolbar, options under the Epic button, the maximum number of workspaces a user can open, automatic timeout settings, and whether your user’s last login dept will default the next time she logs in.
Explain the difference between role and security?
Security determines a users access to functionality.
Role determines where that functionality will appear for a user in Hyperspace.
True or False: Any profile record can be attached at any level in the hierarchy?
True
Pharmacists, pharmacy techs and pharmacy managers all work in the same dept., but each have different security classes. The pharmacist and the pharmacy techs use the same Summary Reports. The pharmacy managers needs an additional set of reports. At which level of profile should you configure the Summary reports for each of these user groups?
Because they all share a login Dept., the pharmacists and the pharmacy techs can get their reports from a department-level profile. The pharmacy managers should get their reports from a security-level profile.
How can you define the default report buttons that appear for an end user in the Snap Shot activity?
List the reports that should be default buttons in the Start Up Buttons field on the Patient Summary screen in the profile.
When the physicians at your organization review an office visit encounter with a cardiologist, they want to see a different report than they see for most office visits. How could this be accomplished?
In the Chart Review Encounter Reports tables, add another line for the contact type of Office Visit, but include a specialty of cardiology. Then list the special report under the Reports column.
True or False: The profile controls access to activities in Hyperspace?
False: security controls access to activities
You log in and are affected by two profiles, a dept. level and a System Definition level. When the two have competing values, which values trump which?
The more specific level profile settings will trump the more general. The Dept-Level profile’s values would trump the System Definitions-level profile’s values.
What is the maximum number of profiles that can contribute to your compiled profile?
Six.
True or False: You are limited to a single set of outpatient and a single set of inpatient orders preference list in any given profile record.
True
