Which of Epic's databases is described as relational?

Clarity is recognized as Epic's relational database. In a relational database, data is organized into tables that can be linked—or related—based on common data attributes. This structure allows for complex querying, reporting, and data manipulation capabilities, which can manage large volumes of information efficiently and support data integrity through relationships among datasets.

Epic uses Clarity primarily for reporting and analytics, offering a data warehouse environment where users can access and analyze structured data. The relational model facilitates effective data retrieval and enables users to generate meaningful insights from multiple related datasets.

The other options represent different forms of data organization or applications within the Epic system. Chronicles, for example, is Epic’s primary database and is known for its hierarchical structure rather than a traditional relational format. Hyperspace acts more as an interface or user experience platform within the Epic environment rather than a database itself. The Master File refers to a specific type of data repository focusing on core elements such as patient records or staff details but isn't categorized under relational databases in the same sense as Clarity.
