Discuss Epic Systems EDI101 Exam Topic 3 Question 5

For which of the following tasks would you use the ID Maintenance activity?

AAdd an Identity ID to a record

BDefine new ID Types

CSet an outgoing default mapping

DSpecify the table to use for mapping

Suggested Answer: A

The ID Maintenance activity is a record-level tool used by analysts to manage specific identifiers for individual records. If a patient or provider has an incorrect external ID or is missing one necessary for interface communication, an administrator uses this activity to manually add, edit, or delete an Identity ID for that specific record. Defining new ID types (Option B) or configuring global mapping tables (Option D) are high-level configuration tasks performed in different administrative activities, not in the individual ID Maintenance tool.

Could it be that ID Maintenance is used for specifying tables? That sounds familiar, but I might be mixing it up with another topic.

Teri 4 months ago

I feel like I saw a practice question that mentioned setting mappings, but I can't recall if it was for ID Maintenance or something else.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about defining ID types being part of a different activity.

Floyd 4 months ago

I think the ID Maintenance activity is mainly about managing existing IDs, so maybe it's related to option A?
