EPIC BRIDGES EXAM (ACTUAL 2026)
QUESTIONS WITH DETAILED 100% ANSWERS
Data Queue - ANSWERS_Outgoing: Contains the full text of
the message along with additional metadata (i.e. timestamp)
Control Queue - ANSWERS_Outgoing: Contains very little
data. Processed by Communications Daemon. Maintains list
of messages waiting to be processed.
Incoming: Processed by Filer Daemon.
When is patient validation performed? - ANSWERS_When
any patient-based incoming interfacce finds the patient record
by ID and ID Type,.
3 types of validation an interface can use - ANSWERS_-Basic
Validation
-Advanced Validation
-Identity Duplicate Configuration (recommended)
Which IDC threshold is used for patient validation? -
ANSWERS_High threshold
3 methods to migrate Bridges objects: - ANSWERS_-data
courier
-manual migration
-pack/unpack
,Data Courier - ANSWERS_Tool that facilitates moving
objects between environments
Comm Daemon - ANSWERS_Outgoing: TCP/IP. Reads
instruction from Control Queue and copies corresponding
message from Data Queue. Sends message out of Epic and
waits for ACK. Deletes instruction from Control Queue.
Incoming: TCP/IP. Constantly listens for incoming messages.
Validates MSH-11 and MSH-12 before accepting.
Filer Daemon - ANSWERS_Pulls instruction from Control
Queue, retrieves corresponding message from Data Queue,
then attempts to file message. If there is a problem, an
interface error is logged.
Error Workqueue - ANSWERS_Collects and assigns errors to
be worked based on custom rules. Interface
Utilities>Workqueue List.
Collect to workqueue if: - ANSWERS_- Defined resolution
path
- Trained user assigned to resolve
- Error does not exist on another queue
Transfer error - ANSWERS_Move error to another
workqueue
, Release error - ANSWERS_Removes error from workqueue
Multiple WQ rules are evaluated with <blank> logic: -
ANSWERS_OR logic (as in, one OR more of these
conditions)
Workqueue rules must be marked as: - ANSWERS_Active
Workqueue must be <blank> in order to catch errors -
ANSWERS_Activated
Error Resolution Steps - ANSWERS_1. Individual Error
Steps
2. Group containing the steps
these can be applied to error codes
Step Group - ANSWERS_-Apply to specific error code and
specific interface
-Allows for different resolution steps for the same code on
different interfaces
-Can also apply at the system definition level to apply to error
code on all interfaces
-Error step will be invisible unless linked to a specific
Interface, or System Definitions
