What determines your visible data in Epic based on your role?

• A. User Security
• B. System Settings
• C. Data Access
• D. View Preferences

Answer: (A)

Your visible data in Epic is determined by the security profile tied to your user account, which defines what patient information you’re allowed to access based on your role. This is managed through role-based access control: each role has specific permissions that let you view and interact with certain data domains (charts, meds, results, notes, etc.). Because those permissions come from your User Security, changing your role or security settings changes what you can see.

System Settings set global defaults and don’t vary by individual user, so they don’t dictate per-person data visibility. View Preferences affect how information is displayed (layout, which fields show up) but not what data you are allowed to access. Data access concepts exist, but in Epic the concrete mechanism that controls what you can see is your User Security.
