⩥ Trauma registry.
Answer: The chief medical officer of emergency services is investigating
the number of gunshot victims seen in their emergency department in the
past two years, for their hospital.
Which type of database should be used to locate this data?
⩥ Object oriented.
Answer: A group of speech pathologists from several facilities within the
same large healthcare system is doing a research study on children who
stutter. They want to share their audio files across their interoperable
databases as they work on this study together.
Which database should they use?
⩥ True.
Answer: If you were constructing a database for a research project, de-
identifying patient information would be an important consideration in
protecting patient privacy.
,True or False
⩥ Research identified.
Answer: A clinical research associate is comparing data on study
patients and their response to a clinical-trial drug for patients with
fibromyalgia. The patients were enrolled six months ago. The associate
is comparing data from when the patients were first enrolled in the study
to today.
Which type of database is the associate using?
⩥ Current lengths of stay for patients after CABG; this data will provide
a baseline trend of current practice.
Number of providers providing direct care for patients post CABG per
day; knowledge of the extent of human resources used for this patient
population will be used to analyze current provider service patterns.
Answer: The vice president of operations of a medical facility in
Jackson, Mississippi, seeks to improve the efficiency, effectiveness,
equity, and timeliness of patient care at the facility. Over the past month,
150 patients have undergone coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)
surgery. These patients require significant resources and are occupying
the majority of beds in the facility, on average, with an eight-day post-
procedure length of stay. Currently, the facility has no established
standardized protocol guiding physicians on postoperative care.
The chief medical officer (CMO) is concerned about the situation and
sees this as an opportunity to perform data analysis and make
, recommendations based on the results. The vice president, CMO, and
Operations Team are meeting to determine what types of data to gather
and analyze to develop recommendations to present to their
cardiothoracic surgeons. Their goal is to develop standardized protocols
for the care management of this patient population and benchmark the
results over time with external standards. The following web link is an
additional reference in determining types of data to be considered:
"Patient Education: Recovery After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft
Surgery (CABG) (Beyond the Basics)"
Calculate the descriptive statistics of the presented values and consider a
course of action based on the results.
⩥ Dental check-ups should be scheduled in tandem with physician
visits.
Americans do not view oral care as important as taking care of other
parts of the body..
Answer: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has a
division of oral health. Its website offers numerous resources, reports,
and data-gathering tools for any community or agency interested in
developing a more comprehensive oral healthcare plan.
The community wellness coordinator for a primary care network wants
to determine whether initial education programs for pediatricians and
staff will have an impact on oral hygiene. This project includes a
coordinated patent education program about the importance of regular
dental and physician visits.
