True or False
Healthcare information systems are composed of various health information systems, each with a
specific purpose. A quality assurance system that manages information related to continuous quality
improvement, regulatory reporting, and audits of clinical processes is an example of a clinical
information system. - correct answer ✔✔False
correct
Answer
Correct:While a quality assurance system manages data on the quality of processes that affect patient
outcomes, it does not manage information relative to the direct clinical care of the patient. It is
categorized as an administrative information system.
Health information technology makes up the infrastructure that allows healthcare providers and
organizations to deliver safe and quality patient care through information generation, analysis, and
sharing in a secure system. Meaningful Use, now known as the Promoting Interoperability Program, is a
program of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) that sets expectations on the use of
certified EHR technology in a meaningful manner to ensure the electronic exchange of health
information to improve the quality of care.
What do the three stages of the program include?
1. Promoting data capture and sharing, advancing clinical processes, and improving patient outcomes.
2. Promoting data capture and sharing, advancing clinical processes, and improving patient engagement.
3. Promoting data capture and sharing, ensuring secure exchange of information, and improving patient
outcomes.
4. Promoting data capture - correct answer ✔✔1.
,Correct:
These are the three stages of Meaningful Use as set forth by CMS.
True or False
The admission-discharge-transfer (ADT) system manages information on the patient's activities in the
hospital as they relate to the patient's location and phase of movement within the hospital. This system
is categorized under the general classification of clinical information systems (CIS) within a hospital's
health information system (HIS). - correct answer ✔✔FALSE.
Correct:The ADT system is classified under the hospitals' administrative information system, not the
clinical information system. It is one of the foundational systems that allows operational activities such as
bed placement, transportation coordination, room readiness, and the general coordination of services
focused on the patient's phase of movement.
True or False
While caring for patients, nurses are supported through decision support tools in the administrative
information system that is based on best clinical evidence. - correct answer ✔✔False
correct
Answer
Correct:The clinical information system provides patient centric decision-making functionality to help
guide a nurse with decision-making while caring for a patient.
There are several systems that provide support for nurses in patient care decision-making.
What is an example of this type of health information system?
Order entry systems
Quality assurance system
, Critical care information systems - correct answer ✔✔Critical care information systems assist decision-
making by capturing input data from multiple bedside devices that facilitate calculation of clinical indices
to support decisions on diagnosis and treatment.
A health information system comprises multiple information systems that are interfaced and integrated
to support the clinical and administrative management of healthcare information.
What is the purpose of this?
1. It addresses the decision-making information needs of healthcare professionals.
2. It involves the management of demographic, financial, and reporting.
3. It manages order entry and medication management information needs of the patient.
4. It focuses on the acquisition, review, and use of patient data. - correct answer ✔✔4. It focuses on the
acquisition, review, and use of patient data.
correct
Answer: Clinical information systems acquire patient data so that healthcare professionals can review it
and use the information to deliver care.
Administrative information systems support patient care by managing administrative, financial, and
demographic information and reporting.
What is an example of administrative information systems?
1. Physiologic monitoring system
2. Picture archiving and communication system
3. Patient acuity and staff scheduling system - correct answer ✔✔Correct:
