Pass the EPIC Bridges Interfaces EDI101 Questions and answers with CertsForce

The " Review Required " status acts as a safety hard-stop in Bridges. This status usually appears after a system upgrade or when a new interface is created from a template. Bridges prevents the daemons from starting as long as a variable is marked for review to ensure that an analyst has verified that the settings are appropriate for the specific environment, preventing potential data filing errors.

The Message Companion relies on a successful link between a message and a specific record (like a Patient or Encounter). If a message encounters a failure error during processing (e.g., a critical identification error), Bridges may be unable to definitively link that message to the patient record in Chronicles. Because the link is missing, the message will not appear in tools like the Message Companion that filter specifically by that patient ' s ID.

Even in a fictional scenario, the rule remains: if you are mapping record-level identifiers (the unique ID for each individual robot record), you must use Identity . Translation Tables would only be appropriate for the " robot types " (since there are only a dozen), but for the thousands of individual robot records themselves, Identity provides the necessary cross-referencing between Epic and external systems.

If an incoming message arrives for a patient whose record is currently being edited by a user in Hyperspace, the record is " locked. " Bridges cannot file to a locked record, so it places the message in the Holding Queue . Once the user finishes their work and the lock is released, the message is moved back to the Data Queue to be filed.

Duplicate Prevention logic is shared across the Epic platform through the Identity Duplicate Configuration (IDC) record. This record defines the scoring logic and the high and low thresholds used to determine if a patient being created by an interface is a definite match to an existing record, a potential duplicate that needs review, or a completely new patient. Bridges leverages these enterprise-wide Identity settings to ensure consistency in how duplicates are handled.
