If you don't want to use Identity, a Translation Table can be used instead to map patient IDs.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

In Epic, Identity is the required framework for mapping record-level identifiers, especially for patients. Translation Tables are intended for mapping 'Category Lists' (like Gender, Race, or Marital Status) where there are a limited number of static values. Because patient IDs are unique to every record and number in the millions, they cannot be managed via a simple translation table.

I definitely recall something about using Translation Tables, but I can't remember if it was specifically for patient IDs.

I'm leaning towards false, but I feel like there might be exceptions where a Translation Table could work.

I remember a similar question about patient ID mapping, and I think we concluded that Identity is usually preferred.

I think it's true because we discussed using Translation Tables in class, but I'm not entirely sure.
