Which Epic app for lab clinical path?

• A. Beaker AP
• B. Beaker CP
• C. AVS
• D. ASAP

Answer: (B)

The app you use for routine clinical lab testing in Epic is Beaker CP. In the Beaker lab system, different sub-applications handle different parts of the lab workflow. Beaker CP is designed for Clinical Pathology, covering the standard laboratory disciplines you see in daily patient testing—chemistry, hematology, microbiology, transfusion medicine, and the typical specimen handling, order entry, result reporting, and instrument interfacing for those tests. Beaker AP, on the other hand, is for Anatomic Pathology, handling surgical pathology, histology, and related workflows, which are separate from the clinical lab tests. AVS and ASAP don’t represent the core clinical pathology module in Epic. So for lab clinical path, Beaker CP is the right choice.
