Which term corresponds to the statement 'Majority of hospital charges in EPIC are generated through'?

Charges in EPIC come from the clinical workflow—the sequence of care activities and the accompanying documentation that happen during a patient encounter. As clinicians enter orders, administer medications, perform procedures, and document nursing care, those actions are tied to the patient’s encounter and trigger charge capture. The system assigns the appropriate revenue codes and billing items to those documented actions, so the bulk of hospital charges are generated directly from these real-time care activities. Other terms don’t reflect this process. A treatment inquiry is about questions or decision support related to treatments, not the actual capture of charges. An account summary is a financial overview of the account, not the mechanism that creates charges. History refers to past patient information, not the current care activities that drive billing.
