WGU C810 Foundations in Healthcare Data
Management
A chief information officer at a hospital is working to improve data security methodologies within
the hospital's electronic health record (EHR). The chief information officer enlists the help of the
hospital's health information management (HIM) director to help design and enforce the new
data security policies, which include the utilization of a new token system to access the
EHR.Which information governance principle is described in this scenario? - ANS-Protection
A coder encounters a medical record where a sputum culture indicates bacterial pneumonia, but
the diagnosis does not specify the cause.
Which criteria does the documentation in the patient's record fail to meet? - ANS-Precision
A health information exchange method is needed that allows healthcare providers to access
health information from other providers to deliver patient care.
Which health information exchange method best suits this purpose? - ANS-Query-based
exchange
A health information management (HIM) director is writing a data dictionary for a new disease
registry.For which area is this HIM director being a data steward? - ANS-Data definition
A health information manager is responsible for properly destroying records after the retention
period has passed. Which principle for information governance is described in this scenario? -
ANS-Disposition
A healthcare facility experiences an unexpected hardware failure with its EHR system, and it is
expected to be operational in three hours.
During this downtime, which plan should be initiated? - ANS-Business continuity plan
A healthcare facility uses a template to collect data for key reports, prompting caregivers to
document all required data elements in the patient record.
Which data characteristic does this practice contribute to? - ANS-Comprehensiveness
A healthcare professional is examining statistics for a facility that includes the average length of
stay (ALOS) and discharge data by diagnostic-related group (DRG).
Which type of data is being reviewed? - ANS-Aggregate data
, A hospital's chief executive officer (CEO) notices a spike in complaints about a certain unit and
wants to know the average number of patients admitted to that unit in order to monitor staff
need. Where should the CEO look for this data? - ANS-Daily census report
A large healthcare organization holds quarterly meetings of a committee composing its
compliance officer, privacy officer, information security officer, chief information officer, and vice
president of HIM. These meetings review recent breaches, the need for new policies, and
compliance with requirements for employee training and education related to information
management.
Which generally accepted recordkeeping principle (GARP) is this an example of? -
ANS-Accountability
A local skilled nursing facility (SNF), hospital, and public health agency all participate in a health
information exchange (HIE). The data is pushed from their facilities into one repository where
they all have access to retrieve data when needed.Which model is described in this scenario? -
ANS-Centralized
A new HIM professional is looking for an HIE organization that has the most advantages in
terms of availability and integrity.
Which HIE model would be the best choice? - ANS-Hybrid
A paragraph in a physician's order specifies information about a patient's discharge. Which type
of data is described in this scenario? - ANS-Unstructured
A patient is being seen by a physician. The patient describes the reason for the visit and the
history of present illness in detail. The physician records notes electronically at the point of care.
Which technology supports point-of-service documentation for this visit? - ANS-Electronic health
record (EHR)
A report contains evidence of a review of a patient's record, the examination of the patient,
pertinent findings, and recommendations.
In which type of report would this information be found? - ANS-Consultation
A report is needed from a disease registry, but patients' names must be de-identified.Which
category of key principles and practices applies to this scenario? - ANS-Responsibility of health
data steward
Accurate data, data is what is supposed to be - ANS-Integrity
Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)- - ANS-looks at issues related to the
efficiency and effectiveness of the healthcare delivery system.
