What logic applies when values are added to the '(and) include _______' in SmartSet BPA Criteria?

The correct answer relates to the use of AND logic when adding values to the '(and) include _______' section in SmartSet BPA (Best Practice Advisory) Criteria within EpicCare. This logic functions such that all specified values must be present for the SmartSet to be applicable.

In practical terms, when you add multiple values under this criteria, you're actually indicating that every one of these values needs to be met in order for the SmartSet to trigger. For example, if a user specifies several conditions or requirements within the '(and) include' section, only patients who meet all these conditions will fall under the advisory provided by the SmartSet. This is critical for ensuring that the advisory is precise, targeting only those patients who meet the full set of specified criteria, thereby enhancing clinical relevance and proper decision-making in patient care.

The other options do not apply to the way values are processed in this context. OR logic would imply that meeting just one of several conditions is sufficient, which is not the case here, while "No logic applied" suggests a lack of any logical framework, and conditional logic does not accurately convey the meaning of how values are combined in this particular scenario.
