In EpicCare Everywhere, which statement best describes the function of the 'Send' action in a data exchange workflow?

• A. It ingests and displays the incoming data in the recipient's chart.
• B. It initiates data sharing from the sender to the receiver.
• C. It encrypts data in transit between endpoints.
• D. It verifies patient consent before sharing.

Answer: (B)

In this workflow, the Send action is the push mechanism that starts sharing a patient record from the sender to the receiver. It initiates the data exchange, triggering the transfer to the destination. It isn’t about displaying or ingesting incoming data—that happens on the recipient’s side after the data arrives. Encryption happens as data moves over the network, not as the primary function of the Send action itself. Consent is a governance step that should be addressed before sharing, but it’s not what the Send action performs. So, the Send action best describes starting the data exchange from the sender to the receiver.
