What best describes a SmartBlock?

• A. An independent note template.
• B. A macro that overwrites documentation.
• C. A special type of SmartLink used to add SmartForms to a note template.
• D. A form to insert patient images.

Answer: (C)

In Epic, a SmartBlock is a reusable content element that you bring into a note through a SmartLink, specifically to insert SmartForms into the note template. It acts as a specialized block that carries the SmartForms logic so you can capture structured data within the documentation workflow, without recreating the form each time. It’s not an independent note template by itself, nor a macro that overwrites documentation, nor merely a form to insert images—its purpose is to integrate SmartForms into the note via a SmartLink.
