Which term represents the EPIC health information management application's abbreviated component?

• A. EpicCare Inpatient
• B. Exitcare
• C. Flowsheets
• D. Health Information Management

Answer: (D)

In EPIC, the health information management area is the module commonly known by its abbreviation HIM. The question asks for the term that represents that abbreviated component, and Health Information Management is the one that matches the familiar acronym HIM used for that part of EPIC. This module focuses on handling patient records, coding, and release of information. The other terms refer to different parts of EPIC: EpicCare Inpatient covers inpatient clinical workflows, Flowsheets are a documentation tool within EPIC, and ExitCare is not the HIM component. So the term that corresponds to the abbreviated component is Health Information Management.
