1. Dr. James, in studying patient safety in U.S. hospitals, found that the number of preventable
WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS
adverse events leading to serious harm fell in the approximate range of
WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS to
cases per year. WS WS

c. 1 million; 5 million

d. 40,000; 100,000 WS
ANS: B
Dr. James found some 440,000 cases of lethal harm each year and estimated that the incidence
WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS
of serious (but not lethal) harm was 10 to 20 times that figure.

Health informatics is a discipline, or field of study, in the same sense that "medicine," "sociol

WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS
Example"?
a. An interoperable healthcare system that provides clear, concise patient data and inf

ormation among institutions is lacking in many facilities, and its presence would gre
WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS
atly facilitate things such as patient transfers.
WS WS WS WS WS WS
b. The quality of discharge communication during transfers of geriatric patients from
WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS
hospital to nursing home is generally high. WS WS WS WS WS WS
c. Skilled nursing facilities aren't trained enough to identify the information they need t
WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS
o facilitate a high-quality transition of a patient into their facility.
WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS
d. Healthcare informaticians alone are responsible for building interoperable systems
WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS WS
that will facilitate communication between and among healthcare facilities.

This subsection takes the specific case of the transfer of geriatric patients from a hospital set

ting to a long-
