C790 WGU Questions and Answers (Expert
Solutions)
Q: Interoperability
ANS 🗹🗹: the capability of two or more computer systems to share data and
resources, even though they are made by different manufacturers
Q: AHRQ
ANS 🗹🗹: Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
Q: CCC
ANS 🗹🗹: Clinical Care Classification, classification system of nursing diagnoses
and interventions for home health
Q: Change Theory
ANS 🗹🗹: The study of change in individuals or social systems such as
organizations.
Q: Channel
ANS 🗹🗹: A physical element that carries a message between a sender and a
receiver. Examples of channels are radio waves, fiber optic lines, and paper.
Q: Chaos Theory
ANS 🗹🗹: The qualitative study of unstable aperiodic behavior in deterministic,
nonlinear dynamical systems
Q: Clinical Informatics
ANS 🗹🗹: The application of informatics and information technology to deliver
healthcare services.
Q: Closed System
, Page | 2
ANS 🗹🗹: A system that is enclosed in an impermeable boundary and does not
interact with the environment.
Q: QI
ANS 🗹🗹: quality improvement
Q: Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS)
ANS 🗹🗹: An entity consisting of many diverse and autonomous parts that are
interrelated, interdependent, linked through many interconnections, and behave as
a unified whole in learning from experience and in adjusting to changes in the
environment
Q: Complexity Theory
ANS 🗹🗹: Complexity theory builds on chaos theory using a qualitative approach to
the study of dynamic nonlinear social systems that change with time and
demonstrate complex relationships.
Q: Computerized provider order entry (CPOE)
ANS 🗹🗹: A system that automates the way that orders have traditionally been
initiated for patients. Clinicians place orders within these systems instead of using
traditional handwritten transcription onto paper. These systems provide major
safeguards by ensuring that physician orders are legible and complete, thereby
providing a level of patient safety that was historically missing with paper-based
orders. They provide decision support and automated alert functionality that was
previously unavailable with paper-based orders.
Q: Computer science
ANS 🗹🗹: The "systematic study of algorithmic methods for representing and
transforming information, including their theory, design, implementation,
application, and efficiency.... The roots of computer science extend deeply into
mathematics and engineering. Mathematics imparts analysis to the field;
engineering imparts design" (University at Buffalo School of Engineering and
Applied Sciences;
Q: Needs Assessment
ANS 🗹🗹: An assessment of needs of a department or organization using different
methods such as surveys, interviews and report gathering.
