An Edit Set is a bundled collection of individual edit checks that are run together on data. The purpose is to group those edits so they can be applied as a unit, ensuring consistent validation across records and making it easy to reuse the same suite of checks in different submissions. This setup helps you run related quality checks in one pass and quickly see all the edits that trigger, rather than applying each rule separately. Storing patient identifiers, logging edits, or compiling reports are separate functions—storing identifiers is about data fields, logging edits is about recording actions, and compiling reports is about presenting results—not about the purpose of grouping edits for validation.
