Which action ends your assignment for a patient?

• A. Right-click the patient's row in the My Patients list and select End My Assignment.
• B. Use End My Assignment in the patient's chart.
• C. Delete the assignment.
• D. Log out.

Answer: (A)

Ending your patient assignment is done through the My Patients roster. In EpicCare inpatient, you formally close your involvement with a patient by right-clicking that patient’s row in the My Patients list and selecting End My Assignment. This action updates the assignment status in the roster, records the end time, and keeps an accurate audit trail so the next caregiver can take over smoothly. Doing this from the chart isn’t the standard way to close the assignment and may not properly update the assignment status. Deleting the assignment would remove records and isn’t appropriate for tracking care or audits. Logging out ends your entire session, not just a single patient’s assignment.
