which of the following illustrates the integration of informatics into a health care system to support
cost containment?
A) Offering free wireless Internet access to clients and visitors
B) Installing bar codes on medications with alerts for low supplies
C) Integrating an electronic health care record on a platform compatible with computers and
tablets
B
This illustrates cost containment by allowing inventory management related to supply and
demand, directly affecting management of medication and supply costs.
Which of the following legislative acts stipulate that clients be allowed to see and make corrections to
their health care records?
A) Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act
B) Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
C) American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)
B
One privacy rule of HIPAA is to establish client ownership of the health care record and allow for
client-initiated corrections and amendments.
Which of the following uses of technology would constitute a violation of HIPPA?
, A) Sharing a client's lab results with a consulting provider via email on the health care facility
intranet
B) Charting client data on an electronic health care record while at the bedside with family
members present
C) Texting a picture of a client's wound from one nurse to another nurse related to wound care
protocol
C
This is a violation of client confidentiality due to identifiable client assessment data shared outside
the health care facility. Even though the nurse sent the photo to another nurse related to wound care
protocol, this is not acceptable use of technology and violates HIPAA.
A health care facility recently opened a research department to collect and analyze data related to
improved client outcomes. Which of the following examples represents integration of technology to
support creation of scholarly knowledge?
A) Administration of an online survey for new nurses post-orientation regarding satisfaction with
teaching methods
B) Electronic collection of healing times of sacral wounds post-hyperbaric treatment, with and
without antibiotic administration
C) Piloting an instant messaging system between hand-held computers for nursing and pharmacy
B
This supports research through data collection examining and intervention and comparison
intervention. Technology supports the timely and accurate collection and analysis of data related
directly to client outcomes. This helps support the creation of scholarly knowledge.
