What does Level 2 coding refer to in EPIC?

• A. Predefined phrases in EPIC that help import specific templates or data
• B. A method to import lab and imaging orders via predefined phrases
• C. A tool for real-time chart collaboration
• D. A library of patient education resources

Answer: (A)

Level 2 coding is about using predefined phrases to pull in templates or data into Epic notes. Clinicians use short triggers (SmartPhrases) that expand into larger blocks of content—such as templates for encounters, problem lists, or built‑in data sections—so documentation fills in quickly and consistently. This is a documentation‑driven function, not an order-entry workflow, a real-time chart collaboration tool, or a library of patient education resources.
