WGU C427 CORRECT FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) - ✔✔part
of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). Created to
motivate the implementation of electronic health records (EHR) and supporting
technology in the United States. Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) `Computer
tools
✔✔Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) - ✔✔A computer application that
allows a physician's orders for diagnostic and treatment services (such as medications,
laboratory, and other tests) to be entered electronically instead of being recorded on
order sheets or prescription pads.
The computer compares the order against
standards for dosing, checks for allergies or
interactions with other medications, and warns the physician about potential problems.
✔✔Laboratory Information Systems (LIS) - ✔✔software system that records, manages,
and
stores data for clinical laboratories. Traditionally been most adept at sending
laboratory test orders to lab instruments,
tracking those orders, and then recording the
results, typically to a searchable database
, ✔✔Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC) - ✔✔a classification
system used for identifying
laboratory results and clinical observations
✔✔Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine
(SNOMED) - ✔✔a coding scheme meant to integrate the data
accumulated from multi-provider care processes by mapping with ICD, LOINC, and
various other data classification standards
✔✔Medical Information Bus (MIB) - ✔✔represents an application of networking and
information technology for healthcare. The
purpose of MIB is to define a standard means of connectivity between critical care
bedside
medical devices and hospital host computers. The devices include patient monitors,
infusion pumps, ventilators, pulse oximeters and other devices used in operating rooms,
intensive care units and
emergency rooms.
✔✔Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System
(HCPCS) - ✔✔set of health care procedure codes based on the American Medical
Association's Current
Procedural Terminology (CPT)
✔✔Office of the National Coordinator for Health
Information Technology - ✔✔at the forefront of the administration's health IT efforts and
is a resource to the entire health system to support the adoption of health information
technology and the promotion of nationwide health information exchange to improve
health care. Organizationally located within the Office of the Secretary for the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
The principal federal entity charged with
coordination of nationwide efforts to implement and use the most advanced health
information technology and the electronic exchange of health
information.
✔✔PACS - ✔✔Medical imaging technology which
provides economical storage and convenient
access to images from multiple modalities
(source machine types).
✔✔Which of the following has proven to be the MOST effective means of
communication? - ✔✔Face to face.
✔✔What is the best strategy to gain support from physicians for implementation of a
new
