A patient presents to the inpatient unit following surgery. The receiving nurse
has not heard a report from the operating room (OR) nurse. The patient is
experiencing great discomfort, and the receiving nurse wishes to see the
documentation for any pain medication given by the previous nurse. The
leadership has not achieved meaningful use stage 2 yet.
Which point of care system software will improve communication?
Laboratory information system
Computerized provider order entry
Picture archiving communication system
Electronic medication administration record Answer - Electronic medication
administration record
A medical facility meaningful use objective is to develop a health IT system. The
medical facility objective is to improve patient engagement. In order to
improve patient engagement it will be necessary to communicate with patients
through a patient portal.
What will be needed for this implementation?
Local area network
,Open source software
Interoperability protocols
Clinical workflow analysis Answer - Interoperability protocols
Leadership at a healthcare organization implements a new electronic
healthcare record system without performing appropriate workflow analysis.
The staff stopped using the system within one week and the implementation
was unsuccessful.
What is the primary issue that contributed to the implementation's failure?
Lack of a physician champion
Failure to incorporate legacy data
Failure to select an appropriate vendor
Lack of communication from management Answer - Lack of communication
from management
A healthcare organization implemented a new electronic health records system
using an in-house server. From the first week of go-live, users complained that
the system was too slow and was unusable when a lot of users were entering
data at the same time. The information technology department has
determined the issue to be an infrastructure problem.
What should have been the foreseeable cause of the system performance
problem?
The server room is too hot.
The network cable runs are too long.
The server was configured incorrectly.
, The user access privileges are inadequate. Answer - The server was configured
incorrectly.
A patient is at high risk of stroke. The patient's physician is concerned about
adherence to the recommended weight loss and diet recommendations. The
physician is on an integrated hospital management information system (HMIS).
Which documentation format will ensure accurate and timely data is presented
to the physician?
Manual logging of data in a logbook for entry into the HMIS
Data sent to the HMIS from a wearable device that tracks in real time
HMIS alerts about out-of-range readings sent to the patient via a patient portal
Record of symptoms completed by patient via a paper report and faxed to
HMIS Answer - Data sent to the HMIS from a wearable device that tracks in
real time
A hospital realizes patients are expecting access to personal health records on
demand. In response, they want to build a mobile health application that
would be widely adopted and meet the needs of the majority of the patients.
Which feature of the mobile healthcare application should be the focus to
meet these goals?
Speed and accuracy
Security and ease of use
Designed for use on specific devices
Immediate use of emerging platforms Answer - Security and ease of use
