Complex Logic

Question 1

Avoid using OR logic between multiple NOT statements

Question 2

. You receive a request for a BPA that fires for patients who have a smoking status of “current
smoker” ﴾criteria 1﴿, but not if they already have smoking education applied to them ﴾criteria 2﴿, or
if they have refused smoking cessation measures within the past 30 days ﴾criteria 3﴿. Which logic
statement should you use to connect these criteria? Choose ONE answer.
A. 1 AND NOT ﴾2 AND 3﴿
B. 1 AND NOT 2 AND NOT 3
C. 1 AND ﴾NOT 2 OR NOT 3﴿
D. ﴾1 AND NOT 2﴿ OR NOT 3

Answer 2

B

Question 3

You build a BPA that includes 4 criteria. It should fire only if the patient meets 3 or all 4 of the
criteria. Write the logic for this BPA using both Boolean and non‐Boolean logic

Answer 3

Boolean: (1 AND 2 AND 3) OR (1 AND 2 AND 4) OR (2 AND 3 AND 4) OR (3 AND 4 AND 1)
Non‐Boolean: AT LEAST 3 OF (1:4). Additionally, AT LEAST 3 OF (1,2,3,4) also works

Question 4

You’re testing a BPA with multiple criteria. You’ve gotten the BPA to trigger for a patient but can’t
get it to disappear. What activity can you use from within your test patient’s chart to see why your
BPA is still active?

Answer 4

The BPA Review activity will display what caused your BPA to continue to trigger from within the
patient chart
