True or False: Anchor dates for patients you teleport using Epic-produced EPT files will vary depending on when you actually teleport them into your environment.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Sometimes
• D. Not sure

Answer: (B)

Anchor dates are fixed timestamps embedded in the EPT export that anchor each event in a patient’s history to its original calendar date. When you teleport or import those patients into your environment, the dates stay exactly as they were in the source data; the import process doesn’t recalculate or shift them to the current date. This keeps the patient timeline consistent and realistic for training, so the idea that these anchor dates would change based on when you perform the teleport is not correct.
