What is a typical restriction to be specified in a SmartSet Base Build?

A SmartSet Base Build is a feature used in Epic systems that allows organizations to create standardized order sets or clinical workflows. These are typically tailored for specific clinical scenarios and can include a variety of parameters.

The choice regarding encounter limitation inclusion specific to one department is the correct one because SmartSets are often designed to provide clinically relevant pathways for specific departments. This means that the SmartSet can include restrictions that ensure the order set is only used in relevant encounters that align with the specificities of a department's practice, enhancing clinical efficacy and ensuring appropriateness of care.

For example, if a SmartSet is intended for the cardiology department, it would include order options and associated protocols that are specifically aligned with cardiology practice, without crossing over into practices that might belong to a different specialty. This level of specificity optimizes workflow and ensures that clinicians are presented with the most relevant options for their patient population.

Provider experience levels might influence clinical decision-making but do not commonly impact the creation
