Question 1

If interface specification ABC has 45 days listed as its purge days, and Data Exchange System Definitions has 60 days listed for purge days, how many days will messages on interface ABC last?



Answer : B

Similar to profile variables, purge settings follow a hierarchy where the more specific configuration overrides the more general one. Because the Interface Specification is more specific than the System Definitions, its value of 45 days takes precedence. Messages for interfaces using that specification will be eligible for purging after 45 days.


Question 2

For incoming interfaces using Interconnect, which process puts the message on the data queue?



Answer : C

When an interface uses Interconnect (Epic's HTTPS-based framework) for incoming data, Interconnect receives the message directly via a web service call. Because it is an HTTPS connection rather than a standard TCP/IP socket, Interconnect handles the initial receipt and places the message directly onto the Bridges Data Queue for the Filer Daemon to process.


Question 3

Which property is used to group individual errors by a shared root cause?



Answer : C

The Error Code is a unique identifier assigned to a specific type of failure (e.g., 'Patient Not Found'). Because every instance of that specific failure across multiple messages will share the same code, it serves as the primary property for grouping errors to identify systemic issues or root causes.


Question 4

From the following options, which is an action you cannot perform within the Error Resolution Planner activity?



Answer : C

As noted in the previous question, the Error Resolution Planner is used for documenting (Option A), triaging (Option B), and assigning (Option D) tasks related to errors. It does not have the functional authority to actually suppress an error code (Option C); that is a configuration change made at the Interface or System level.


Question 5

Which queue is unique to outgoing interfaces?



Answer : C

The Event Queue is the first stop for outgoing data. When an action occurs in Epic (like a discharge), a trigger is placed in the Event Queue. The Event Daemon then picks up this trigger to build the actual message. Incoming interfaces do not use an Event Queue because the message is already built by the external system when it arrives.


Question 6

Which of the following tools can be used to find messages for a given patient within a specified time range? (SELECT ALL THAT APPLY)



Answer : A, D

Both Message Search and the Message Companion are patient-centric tools. Message Search allows for broad criteria including patient identifiers and timestamps across various interfaces. The Message Companion is a specialized tool often accessed directly from patient clinical records, allowing users to see all incoming and outgoing messages specifically for that patient within a defined timeframe.


Question 7

Selecting "Suppress" in the Error Resolution Planner will automatically suppress the related error code for the selected interface.



Answer : B

The Error Resolution Planner is a tool for triaging and planning, not for final configuration. Selecting 'Suppress' within the planner indicates an intention or a decision that the error should be suppressed, but the actual administrative suppression must still be configured in the Error Code or Interface records to take effect.
