What are dynamic extensions?

What are dynamic extensions?

• A. Extensions that are written in a separate language and executed before the report runs.
• B. Extensions embedded directly into the template as fixed values.
• C. Extensions that are security roles controlling access to parameters.
• D. Extensions (programming points) that are blocks of code used across Epic to read and write data to Chronicles; each dynamic extension describes a value or set of values to filter on.

Answer: (D)

Dynamic extensions are reusable blocks of code in Epic that extend how Chronicles data is read and written, with each extension defining a value or a set of values to filter on. They run at runtime and provide flexible, configurable criteria that drive data access across different Epic processes without changing the underlying code. This isn’t about pre-run scripts or static values embedded in a template, and it isn’t about security roles. It’s about injecting runtime, filterable criteria into Chronicles operations so the same code can be reused in different contexts by supplying different values. For example, a dynamic extension might specify a department or date range to filter encounters, and that filter can be adjusted without rewriting the logic.
