Blaze Through the Epic Hyperspace Challenge 2025 – Launch into Success!

Question: 1 / 400

What data is tracked in the “Vital Signs” section of Epic?

Patient medication prescriptions

Essential patient measurements like blood pressure

The "Vital Signs" section of Epic specifically tracks essential patient measurements that are critical for monitoring a patient's health status. This includes key indicators like blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation levels. These measurements provide healthcare providers with real-time data necessary for assessing a patient's condition, guiding treatment decisions, and monitoring changes over time.

Other options are relevant to patient care but do not fit the definition of vital signs. Patient medication prescriptions pertain to the medications a patient is receiving, demographic information involves the patient's background details, and medical history timelines focus on past health events and treatments. While all these are important in a comprehensive electronic health record, they do not directly represent the basic physiological metrics that are classified as vital signs.
