Which Epic feature provides reusable text blocks that can be inserted into notes via shortcuts?

• A. ClinDoc
• B. SmartPhrases
• C. In Basket
• D. Scheduling

Answer: (B)

SmartPhrases are reusable blocks of text you can store and insert into notes with a shortcut. In Epic, you create a phrase once and then trigger it by typing a short trigger (a dot or shortcut) to expand into the full, preformatted text. This speeds up documentation, keeps language consistent, and can include patient data placeholders so each insertion fills in the correct details automatically. ClinDoc is the overall documentation framework, In Basket is for messages and tasks, and Scheduling handles appointments—none of them provide the same quick-insert, customizable text blocks as SmartPhrases.
