Domain 1: Chronicles Data Structure (Questions 1-10)
Question 1
Within the Chronicles database structure, what is the hierarchy from largest to
smallest?
• A) Master File > Record > Contact > Item
• B) Record > Master File > Contact > Item
• C) Contact > Record > Master File > Item
• D) Item > Contact > Record > Master File
,,,,,answer,,,: A
Rationale: The Chronicles hierarchy is structured as Master File > Record > Contact
> Item . Master files are subsets of the Chronicles database, records are subsets of
master files, contacts are subsets of records, and items are subsets of contacts.
Question 2
A patient who has been seen twice at your facility should have how many records in
the Patient master file?
, • A) One record with two contacts
• B) Two records with one contact each
• C) One record with one contact
• D) Two records with two contacts each
,,,,,answer,,,: A
Rationale: A patient should have only one record in the Patient master file, but that
record will likely have multiple contacts representing each encounter or visit .
Question 3
What programming language is Chronicles built upon?
• A) SQL
• B) Python
• C) M (Caché Script)
• D) Java
,,,,,answer,,,: C
Rationale: Chronicles is coded in the M programming language (also known as
Caché Script) . KB_SQL is a translator that converts Chronicles data from M Script to
relational tables and columns in Clarity .
Question 4
An INI (Master File prefix) of "EPT" corresponds to which master file?
• A) Provider master file
• B) Patient master file
• C) Medication master file
, • D) Department master file
,,,,,answer,,,: B
Rationale: "EPT" is the master file prefix for the Patient master file . Other common
prefixes include "SER" for Provider and "MED" for Medication.
Question 5
A record in the Provider master file represents what?
• A) A patient encounter
• B) A medication order
• C) A provider (physician, nurse, etc.)
• D) A department location
,,,,,answer,,,: C
Rationale: A record in the Provider master file is a provider. Similarly, a record in the
Patient master file is a patient, and a record in the Medication master file is a
medication .
Question 6
In Chronicles, what is a "contact"?
• A) A patient's phone number
• B) A slice of time associated with a record
• C) A type of master file
• D) A database query
