EPIC BRIDGES EXAM PREP-WELL REVISED
ASSESSMENT EXAM WITH PERFECT SOLUTIONS
2026
Outgoing tables - correct-answer -used to map data stored in Epic to values that
are expected in an External system
-source column is on the left
Incoming tables - correct-answer -used to map data received from an external
system via an incoming interface into values to store in Chronicles
source column- represents the data in the sending system format
destination column- contains the Epic equivalent of the data
Translation tables - correct-answer -used to map values between Epic and
another system
Tables are typically used for....... - correct-answer -category lists
T/F a translation table is data-couriable - correct-answer -T- AIF record
,2|Page
General tables - correct-answer -like a profile variable matrix containing
configuration options for fine tuning the behavior of an interface
two kinds of general tables used in Bridges - correct-answer -1) older kind which
uses first column has primary key, which is typically determined from something
in the message
2) newer kind that allows multiple primary keys
Patient Lookup - correct-answer -uses the patient's ID and ID type to find the
correct record in Chronicles
IDC (Identity Duplicate Configuration) Record - correct-answer -contains a set of
criteria to help determine whether two patients are likely to be duplicates
Possible IDC determinations - correct-answer -1) the record is not a match
2) the record is a low threshold match
3) the record is a high threshold match
,3|Page
The two main interfaces that can create patients and use IDC are.... - correct-
answer -Incoming Scheduling and Incoming Patient Administration
high threshold match - correct-answer -a matching patient record
low threshold match - correct-answer -patient record that COULD be a match
i.e. similar enough demographics
When is duplicate prevention performed? - correct-answer -when an incoming
interface that can create patients does not find the patient by ID and ID type
What are the four possible outcomes of patient Identity Duplicate Checking and
the recommended actions for those outcomes? - correct-answer -1) no match-
create a new patient and file message
2)Low threshold matches- create a new patient and file messages
3) Single high threshold match- file message to existing patient
4) Multiple high threshold matches- log a fatal error
, 4|Page
When is patient validation performed? - correct-answer -when any patient-based
incoming interface finds the patient record by ID and ID type
What are the three types of validation an interface can use? - correct-answer -
Basic Validation, Advanced Validation, Identity Duplicate Configuration (IDC)
Which Identity Duplicate Configuration (IDC) threshold is used for patient
validation? - correct-answer -High Threshold
Trigger - correct-answer -Serves as the integration point between the application
workflow and Bridges
-generally an action in Hyperspace, like clicking a button or closing an activity
-a single, clearly defined action that a user or process can take that results in an
interface message being created and sent
