PAPER QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS GRADED

◉ Gap Analysis.
Answer: A measurement of where a condition, situation or metric is
currently and where it needs to be.
◉ Digital Literacy.
Answer: The ability to operate and understand digital devices of all
types, including the technical skills to operate these devices, the
conceptual knowledge to understand their functionality, and the
ability to creatively and critically use these devices to access,
manipulate, evaluate, and apply data, information, knowledge, and
wisdom in activities of daily living.
◉ Information.
Answer: comes from providing context to data. It is data that has
been endowed with meaning and purpose. Have been interpreted,
organized or structured
◉ Information System.
,Answer: The manual and/or automated components of a system of
users or people, recorded data, and actions used to process the data
into information for a user, group of users, or an organization.
◉ Health Information Technology (HIT).
Answer: Hardware, software, integrated technologies or related
licenses, intellectual property, upgrades, or packaged solutions sold
as services that are designed for or support the use by health care
entities or patients for the electronic creation, maintenance, access,
or exchange of health information.
◉ Electronic Health Record.
Answer: A computer-based data warehouse or repository of
information regarding the health status of a client that is replacing
the former paper-based medical record; it is the systematic
documentation of a client's health status and health care in a
secured digital format, meaning that it can be processed, stored,
transmitted, and accessed by authorized interdisciplinary
professionals for the purpose of supporting efficient, high-quality
health care across the client's health care continuum. Also known as
electronic medical record.
◉ Meaningful Use.
Answer: The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
specifies three main components of meaningful use: (1) the use of a
certified electronic health record (EHR) in a meaningful manner,
, such as e-prescribing; (2) the use of certified EHR technology for
electronic exchange of health information to improve quality of
health care; and (3) the use of certified EHR technology to submit
clinical quality and other measures. The criteria for meaningful use
will be staged in three steps. Stage 1 (2011-2012) sets the baseline
for electronic data capture and information sharing. Stage 2 (2013)
and Stage 3 (expected to be implemented in 2015) will continue to
expand on this baseline and be developed through future rule
making.
◉ Work Flow.
Answer: A progression of steps (tasks, events, and interactions) that
constitute a work process, involve two or more persons, and create
or add value to the organization's activities. In a sequential work
flow, each step depends on the occurrence of the previous step; in a
parallel work flow, two or more steps can occur concurrently. The
term "work flow" is sometimes used interchangeably with "process"
or "process flow," particularly in the context of implementations. A
sequence of connected steps in the work of a person or team of
people—that is, the process or flow of work within an organization
or a virtual illustration of the "real" work or steps (flow) that
workers enact to complete their tasks (work). The purpose of
examining and redesigning work flow is to streamline the work
process by removing any unnecessary steps that do not add value or
might even hinder the flow of work.
