WGU C721 NJP1 COMPREHENSIVE EXAM
STUDY GUIDE COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND
SOLUTIONS
●● Interoperability protocols
Answer: 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
●● Lack of communication from management
Answer: 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
●● The server was configured incorrectly.
Answer: 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.
,●● Data sent to the HMIS from a wearable device that tracks in real
time
Answer: 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
●● Security and ease of use
Answer: 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
●● Decreased data storage costs
Preservation of the longitudinal patient record
Answer: As part of an enterprise implementation of a new electronic
health record, a healthcare organization decides to migrate 10 years of
legacy data from the previous system into a cloud.
What are two benefits to this organization by doing this?
Choose 2 answers
Decreased data storage costs
Quicker learning curve among clinical staff
Preservation of the longitudinal patient record
Improved quality assurance testing during implementation phase
●● Communication with people who have similar conditions
