Which term represents the department located within the facility that only services outpatients?

Optime is the term used for the department within a facility that handles outpatient services. In Epic Radiant, Optime represents the outpatient operations side of the system—the areas or units that provide ambulatory care, clinics, and other services for patients who are not admitted as inpatients. This distinguishes them from inpatient units and from generic patient-related data objects. The other options don’t fit the same way. Outpatient Dept is a descriptive label but not the specific Epic department name used in the system. Patient Header and Patient Station refer to patient data and the physical or data locations tied to a patient encounter, not to the department that services outpatients.
