✔✔How is BP built in Epic? - ✔✔{blood pressure row ID number;D} for diastolic; {blood
pressure row ID number;S} for systolic (these are stored as 2 values within 1 row)
✔✔What creates a charge in the system? - ✔✔The combination of Started &
Discontinued values.
✔✔How are charge rows identified to the user? - ✔✔By placing a $ symbol in the

✔✔What are the 4 types of charge triggers? - ✔✔Each Entry
First Entry Only
On/Off Time Based
Once Per Day
✔✔Determines the method by which the quantity of charges for a row will be
determined; use the value Qty by Spec Value to specify the number of charges in the
record. - ✔✔Quantity type
✔✔The field that links the flowsheet row to a specific chargeable record in the
Procedure (EAP) masterfile; is the actual charge applied to the patient account. -
✔✔Charge procedure
✔✔How do you associate a numerical value with the choices in a custom list row? -
✔✔Enter a number as the Abbreviation for the custom list value.
✔✔Helps guide the users to know what documentation is needed. - ✔✔Required
documentation
✔✔Indicates whether the req doc is complete; nurses can click the links into the chart to
finish documentation. When the button is enabled, the required rows appear with icons

✔✔This portion of the documentation rules editor tells the system which flowsheet to
jump to from the required documentation report, and it tells the system which rows to
highlight as required when working in the Flowsheets activity. - ✔✔Flowsheet links
✔✔List the required documentation build steps. - ✔✔1. Plan- what is required & when
should it be documented?
2. Create a rule using Rule Editor
3. Attach rule to Department Rule Editor or System Definitions
4. Test your build
✔✔When building out a Required Documentation rule, should you build out your rule

so the rule can include that flowsheet row.
✔✔Describe the differences between a warning time and due time in Required
