Which Epic feature is used to track whether patient education was delivered and understood?

• A. Patient Education Tracking
• B. Lab/Test Mapping (Order Mapping)
• C. Break-glass
• D. Two-Factor Authentication

Answer: (A)

Tracking whether patient education was delivered and understood is supported by Patient Education Tracking in Epic. This feature is designed to document not just that education was provided, but also that the patient understood it—often capturing details like the type of education given (verbal instruction, written materials, demonstrations), and whether the patient was able to demonstrate or verbalize comprehension. This creates a clear, auditable record that education requirements were met, which is important for care quality, care transitions, and compliance with standards.

The other options don’t address documenting education delivery or patient understanding. Break-glass is about emergency data access, two-factor authentication is about securing access, and Lab/Test Mapping relates to linking orders to results rather than educational activities.
