In Epic, clinicians document this informaiton to electronic _______________. The QuickBar allows you to efficiently document the most common flowsheet information that is collected repeatedly, like vitals.

Differentiate between SmartTexts and SmartPhrases.

In the past, SmartTexts and SmartPhrases had distinct differences in functionality. Now, the differences between the two are becoming less evident, as they both can contain big or small amounts of text, SmartLinks, and SmartLists. The differences are summarized here: Scope - SmartTexts might encompass a results letter or an entire note about a visit from beginning to end, whereas many SmartPhrases are typically not so complex. Who makes them - SmartTexts are built by builders (project team members, physician builders, and clinical builders). SmartPhrases are built by users (user phrases) and builders (system phrases). Review and maintenance process - SmartTexts are usually maintained by an appointed group and reviewers are responsible for the content. User SmartPhrases are not formally reviewed, whereas system phrases might be reviewed. How users summon them - SmartText: Use the Insert SmartText field on the toolbar. SmartTexts can also be set up to appear by default. For example, a SmartText can be a part of a SmartSet, or a SmartText can appear by default in a discharge summary note type. SmartPhrase: Type a dot (period) and then completion match on the phrase's name. Or, use the Butler to search.

What happens when a physician signs a study?

Multiple Select - Ability to select more than one item on a SmartList. Blue-colored. Single Select - Ability to select just one option on a SmartList. Yellow-colored.

SmartLists: Explain how mutally exclusive groups encourage accurate documentation.

Mutaully exclusive groups area often set up in order to prevent users from making selections that do not make sense, such as "no pain and stabbing pain".

Describe the effect of adding or changing procedures in Verify Orders.

On occasion, a radiologist and technologist determine that a different exam is more appropriate than the one specified by the ordering provider. For example, a general practicioner may order a CT of the chest, but the radiologist ma decide the patient needs a CT of the chest, abdomen and pelvis. The technologist can reconcile the discrepeancy with Verify Orders. The technologist can also place orders for additional procedures performed.

Explain the difference between securing and logging out of hyperspace.

Securing keeps your data safe, while holding your place on that workstation. If a different user logs into your secured workstation, they could log in to find whichever chart or activity you had open instead of going to their home workspace. Logging out leeps your data secure, closes any workspace you have open, and allows someone else to log into that workstation and see their own home workspace.

Reading Mode

Select the order in which to open studies. Typically, a radiologist continually works with the list of studies to be read on the Reading Work List. In Priority or Work List batch modes, Hyperspace opens one study after another without returning to the work list. Physicians using a PACS-driven workflow will always use the Single Select reading mode in Epic, as they will open their studies from the PACS system.

Study Notes

Short messages about a study that are usually not part of the legal medical record. They can be edited or deleted. Technologists use the notes to communicate with the reading radiologist. These notes remain linked to the exam. Any radiologist who reads the eam can see the information.

Recent Exams

Explain which SmartTool is most useful for a given situation.

SmartLinks help users to customize their documentation by pulling data from the patient's chart into the documentation. SmartLists are used to manually customize documentation by making selections in lists. SmartTexts and SmartPhrases are standard blocks of text used to reduce documentation time.SmartTexts might encompass a results letter or an entire note about a visit from beginning to end, whereas many SmartPhrases are typically not so complex.

Explain the different options a physician has for documenting the results of a study.

SmartTools and Reading Macros - These are predefined templates for the radiologist. These are especially useful for reading routine exams that have only small differences from patient to patient. Dictation - This allows the physician to record his narrative and impression to a sound file for later transcription. Speech Recognition - This records and enters they physician's narrative and impression directly via a microphone.

Reading Macros

Sometimes referred to as one-click normals, _______________, are the standard results texts that reading physicians or trancriptions apply with on click.

Differntiate between user and system SmartPhrases.

System phrases are created for entire groups, and user phrases are created by end users for themselves and to share with other users. User SmartPhrases are not formally reviewed, whereas system SmartPhrases might be reviewed.

Explain when managers need to take corrective action rather than a technologist.

Technologists can corrrect mistakes using the Prior Status button if the patient's status is at a status of Exam Begun or Exam Ended. The manager also has the ability to perform corrective actions on these exams. In addition, the manager can also correct errors on finalized exams.
