Which file type is NOT typically included in Shareable Extracted Records?

• A. Provider records
• B. In Basket messages
• C. Patient demographics
• D. Department records

Answer: (B)

Shareable Extracted Records are designed to facilitate interoperability and data sharing within healthcare systems. They typically include a wide range of information that is crucial for continuity of care and enables providers to access essential patient data. Provider records, patient demographics, and department records are all fundamental components that would be extracted and shared since they relate directly to patient care and institutional organization.

In Basket messages, however, are more of an internal communication tool used within the Epic system for healthcare providers and staff. These messages are typically not included in Shareable Extracted Records because they pertain to personal communications rather than standardized patient data relevant for sharing across different healthcare entities. Thus, excluding In Basket messages helps ensure that only significant and relevant patient information is exchanged, while sensitive and internal communications remain within the institution.
