True or False: If you schedule an appointment for a patient where the referring physician is in a provider group and the provider group is associated with the patient group, the patient's record will be immediately accessible in EpicCare Link when the Grant Access Queue is not running.

The correct answer is false. When scheduling an appointment for a patient, if the referring physician and their associated provider group fall under the same patient group, the patient's record will not be immediately accessible in EpicCare Link if the Grant Access Queue is not actively running. The Grant Access Queue is responsible for updating and maintaining access to patient records within EpicCare Link. When it is not operational, new records or access requests may not be reflected in real-time, which means that while the connection between the referring physician and the patient group exists, the patient's record would still require a proper update through the queue to be accessible.

In situations where the queue is inactive, the patient's record can be delayed in visibility regardless of the associations between provider groups and patient groups. Therefore, it's essential to understand the functioning of the Grant Access Queue to anticipate when patient records will be available for viewing by authorized users in EpicCare Link. The other options either suggest immediate access under specific conditions or imply variable access based on urgency or user levels, which do not align with the operational mechanics of the system.
