Chapter 1 An Overview Of Informatics In Healthcare
1) Healthcare Today Should Address The Quintuple Aim. What Of The Following Best
Demonstrates How Healthcare Information Technology Might Be Used To Help Address
Disparities In Care?
A) Collect Data Elements That Could Be Used To Identify Vulnerable Individuals
B) Use Collected Data To Identify Vulnerable Individuals
C) Incorporate Gps Locators Into Predictions
D) A And
B Answer:
D
Explanation: A) Many Demographic And Other Relevant Data Elements Are/Or Could Easily
Be Collect That Could Be Used To Identify Vulnerable Individuals.
B) Collected Data Can Be Used And Leveraged To Identify Vulnerable Individuals.
C) Location May Be An Indicator Of Risk But Zip Code Alone Does Not Indicate Vulnerability.
Other Factors That Include Familial Predisposition, Occupational Risks, Economic Level,
Personal Health Habits, Living Conditions, And Community Support All Factor Into
Determination Of Vulnerability.
D) Both A And B Together Comprise The Best
Response. Page Ref: 1-2
Cognitive Level: Applying
Qsen Grad. Competencies: A3, B1
Aacn Essen. Competencies: 8.1g,H; 8.2i; 8.3g
2) Which Of The Following Best Reflects Benefits Realized From The Use Of Health
Information Technology?
A) Improved Safety, Improved Efficiencies, Decreased Clinician Documentation Times
B) Improved Safety, Improved Efficiencies, Improved Charge Capture, Improved Communication
C) Improved Safety, Improved Efficiencies, Improved Protection Of Personal Health Information
D) Improved Safety, Improved Efficiencies, Significant Reduction In Costs For Care,
Improved Protection Of Patient Information
Answer: B
Explanation: A) Hit Can Result In Improved Safety Through Measures Such As Positive
Patient Identification And May Improve Efficiencies But Clinician Documentation Burden Is An
Issue Seen With Poorly Designed And Poorly Used Systems.
B) Hit Can Result In Improved Safety Through Positive Patient Identification, Alerts, And
Similar Measures. Hit May Improve Some Efficiencies Such As Improved Charge Capture
And Shortened Revenue Cycle And Theoretically Improves Communication.
C) Hit Can Result In Improved Safety And Improved Efficiencies In Some Respects But
Despite Safeguards To Protect Patient Health Information It Also Increases Vulnerabilities In
Some Respects.
D) Despite Its Promise To Significantly Reduce Costs For Care Costs Associated With The
Purchase And Maintenance Of Hit, Among Other U.S. Issues Have Not Resulted In Significant
Reduction In Costs For Care.

3) In Which Ways Can Health Information Technology Support The Learning Health System?
A) Incorporation Of Evidence-Based Practice And Big Data Findings To Provide Care
Interventions That Are Proven To Be Effective
B) Real-Time Analysis Of Data
C) Integration Of Devices And The Data That They Collect To Inform Care Decisions
D) All Of The
Above Answer:
D
Explanation: A) Big Data Findings Supplement Ebp Often Providing Information And
Knowledge In A More Timely Fashion.
B) Real-Time Analysis Of Data Can Be Particularly Useful When Healthcare Delivery Systems
And Providers Are Facing Challenges That Are New To Them As Was Seen With The
Emergence Of A Body Of Knowledge Relative To The Impact Of Covid And Most Successful
Treatment Modalities.
C) Data Streams From All Relevant Sources Provide A More Complete Picture.
D) A Combination Of Research And Big Data Findings From A Myriad Of Sources That Is
Analyzed In Real Time Provides A Quick Turnaround To Support, And Further Improve, Care

B) Data In Digital Format
C) Interoperability And Data Sharing
D) Prerequisite Information Knowledge And
Skills Answer: A, B, C, D
Explanation: A) Standardized Languages And Terminologies Ensure That Concepts Maintain
A Uniform Meaning Across Settings And The Ability To Generalize Results.
B) Data In Digital Format Is Conducive To Electronic Capture, Storage, Analysis,
Transmission, And Re-Use.
C) In Order To Have Value Data Must Be Shareable Which Is Best Attained When
Systems Are Interoperable.
D) Computer, Information, And (For The Consumer), Health Literacy Are Foundational Skills
In The Learning Health System Where Data, Information, And Knowledge Are Constantly
Generated As A Result Of Care Processes As Well As The Integration Of Research Findings To
Support Best Practices For Patient Care.

, 5) When Asked To Explain What The Safer Guides Are And Their Relevance For Hit What
Should The Informatics Nurse First Know?
A) Safer Guides Are A Resource Provided By The Centers For Medicare And Medicaid To
Guide Reimbursement.
B) Safer Guides Are A Resource Provided By The Consortium Of Vendors For Selection Of Hit.
C) Safer Guides Are A Resource Provided By The Onchit To Ensure Best Practices For Hit
Implementation And Use.
D) Safer Guides Are The Result Of A Report By The Commonwealth Fund To Improve U.S.
Health Outcomes.
Answer: C
Explanation: A) Safer Guides Have Nothing To Do With Reimbursement Although The Centers
For Medicare And Medicaid Added Them To Ensure An Ongoing Focus On Improving
Interoperability And Patient Access To Health Information.
B) Safer Guides Complement Tools And Research Developed By The Agency For
Healthcare Research And Quality And The Onchit, Not From Vendors.
C) The Safer Acronym Stands For Safety Assurance Factors For Ehr Resilience And Are
Therefore Intended To Guide Implementation Practices And Use For Hit, And Ehrs In
