Q1.
A healthcare organization is implementing a data governance program. Which of the

Healthcare (IGPHC)?

responsible for all data domains. individual departments to ensure agility.

council with defined accountability and security controls.
metrics.
Correct: C - Create an enterprise-wide governance council with defined accountability and
metrics.
Rationale:The IGPHC emphasize enterprise-wide accountability, transparency, and integrity.
A governance council with defined roles and metrics ensures consistent oversight, unlike
siloed or IT-only approaches. Delegating to departments or single stewards fragments
accountability.
Q2.
Under the HIPAA Privacy Rule, which of the following scenarios constitutes a 'breach'
requiring notification to the HHS Secretary?
A. An internal email containing PHI is B. A laptop with unencrypted PHI is stolen,
accidentally sent to a wrong department, but but the risk assessment determines low
no one reads it. probability of compromise.
C. A covered entity discovers that a D. A workforce member accesses PHI
business associate inadvertently disclosed without authorization, but the entity takes
PHI to an unauthorized person, but the disciplinary action and no further disclosure
information was de-identified. occurs.
Correct: B - A laptop with unencrypted PHI is stolen, but the risk assessment determines
low probability of compromise.
Rationale:Under HIPAA, a breach is presumed unless a risk assessment demonstrates low
probability of compromise. Unencrypted PHI on a stolen device triggers the presumption; if
the assessment finds low risk, notification may not be required, but the scenario asks which
constitutes a breach-here the presumption applies. De-identified data is not PHI, and internal
misdirects may be exempt if not accessed.

Q3.
In the context of data quality management, which of the following dimensions is most
directly compromised when a patient's address is formatted differently across systems
(e.g., 'St.' vs. 'Street')?
A. Accuracy B. Timeliness
C. Consistency D. Completeness
Correct: C - Consistency
Rationale:Consistency refers to the uniformity of data representation across systems.
Different formats for the same address indicate inconsistency, even if each entry is accurate.
Accuracy is about correctness, timeliness about currency, and completeness about presence
of data.
Q4.
A data governance committee is evaluating the use of a cloud-based EHR vendor. Which
of the following contractual elements is most critical to ensure compliance with HIPAA?
A. Automatic software updates and uptime B. A business associate agreement (BAA)
guarantees that includes breach notification and data
safeguards
C. Data storage location within the United D. Unlimited data export capabilities
States
Correct: B - A business associate agreement (BAA) that includes breach notification and
data safeguards
Rationale:HIPAA requires covered entities to obtain satisfactory assurances from business
associates that PHI will be protected. A BAA is legally required and must specify permitted
uses, safeguards, and breach notification. Storage location and export capabilities are
operational, not compliance-critical in the same way.
Q5.
When designing a data quality dashboard for a health information exchange (HIE), which
of the following key performance indicators (KPIs) would best measure 'record linkage
accuracy'?
A. Percentage of records with missing B. False positive and false negative rates in
patient identifiers patient matching algorithms
C. Average time to update patient D. Number of duplicate medical record
demographics after a change numbers created per month
Correct: B - False positive and false negative rates in patient matching algorithms
