How would you configure a clinician to access results from a specific lab?

• A. Grant the lab/result access privileges, ensure necessary data view permissions, and set up notification routing
• B. Disable lab result access for all clinicians
• C. Allow access to all labs by default
• D. Remove notification routing

Answer: (A)

Configuring access control plus notification routing is the key idea here. Grant the clinician specific lab access privileges, verify they have the appropriate data view permissions for that lab’s results, and set up routing so notifications about those results reach the right clinician or team. This approach keeps sensitive data properly restricted while ensuring the right person gets alerted when results are available, which aligns with both security and workflow efficiency in Epic. Disabling access for all clinicians would prevent needed information from being seen. Allowing access to all labs by default would ignore data segregation and raise privacy concerns. Removing notification routing would mean results might not reach the clinician promptly, hindering timely care.
