Which table and column in Caboodle represents the patient's Epic ID?

The choice of PatientDim.PatientEpicId is correct because the PatientDim table specifically holds information related to patients, and the PatientEpicId column is designated for storing the unique Epic identifier assigned to each patient within the Caboodle data model.

In healthcare data systems, the Epic ID serves as a critical identifier for tracking patient records, ensuring accurate association of data to the correct individual across various healthcare applications. The PatientDim table is focused on patient demographics and identifiers, making it the primary source for retrieving information about a patient's Epic ID.

The other choices do not represent the patient's Epic ID: ProviderDim.Name pertains to healthcare providers and their names, GuarantorDim.GuarantorEpicId relates to the guarantor of a patient's account and not directly to the patient’s identification, and DurationDim.DisplayString is typically used for temporal data and does not contain patient identifiers. Each of these tables serves specific purposes that do not align with the need for a patient’s Epic ID.
