WGU D330 DATA SYSTEMS
ADMINISTRATION COMPREHENSIVE EXAM
STUDY GUIDE WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTIONS
●● Access controls
Answer: A computer software program designed to prevent unauthorized
use of an information resource
●● Addressable standards
Answer: Must be evaluated by the entity to determine whether or not the
standard is reasonable and appropriate
●● Administrative information system
Answer: A system that manages the business of healthcare; is the first
information systems to be used in healthcare. The data collected in this
system are mainly financial or business-oriented in nature, rather than
clinical
●● Administrative safeguards
Answer: Administrative actions, and policies and procedures, to manage
the selection, development, implementation, and maintenance of security
measure to protect electronic-protected health information and to
,manage the conduct of the covered entity's workforce in relation to the
protection of that information. (45 CFR 160, 162, and 164)
●● Administrative simplification
Answer: Improves the efficiency and effectiveness of the business
processes of healthcare by standardizing the EDI of administrative and
financial transactions and protects the privacy and security of protected
health information (PHI) that is transmitted from one point to another
●● Alpha site
Answer: The first healthcare facility to implement the information
system American National Standards Institute (ANSI) The SDO for the
United States and a representative to the ISO
●● American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)
Answer: Enacted to stimulate the US economy during a recession that
started in 2007. A significant portion of ARRA was dedicated to
expanding the use of HIT to improve the business efficiency and
effectiveness of HCOs while increasing patient safety and positive
health outcomes. It also enacted an incentive program known as
Meaningful Use
●● Anesthesia information system
Answer: A system that collects information on preoperative, operative,
and postoperative anesthesia-related clinical information. This system
follows the patient through the surgical process
,●● Annotation
Answer: The ability to add to the image in some way; because the image
may be a legal document, the image itself cannot be altered; however, an
overlay to the document will show the annotation
●● ANSI Accredited Standards Committee X12N (ASC X12N)
Answer: Responsible for developing the EDI standards used to share
information needed for health insurance administrative transactions
●● Audit controls
Answer: The mechanisms that record and examine activity in
information systems
●● Audit log
Answer: Or audit trail, an electronic footprint of the actions that
occurred in a particular file in an information system or that were
performed by a specific individual
●● Audit trails
Answer: The record of information system activities, such as log-in, log-
out, unsuccessful log-ins, print, query, and other actions
●● Audit-reduction tools
, Answer: Tools that review the audit trail and compare it to criteria
specified by the CE, which eliminates routine entries such as the
periodic backups
●● Authorship
Answer: The origination or creation of recorded information attributed
to a specific individual or entity acting at a particular time
●● Automated codebook encoder
Answer: An encoder that lists diagnoses and procedures in alphabetic
order much like the alphabetic index
●● Back-end speech recognition (BESR)
Answer: A speech recognition technology in which the physician
dictates in the traditional manner and an editor listens to the audio and
reviews the document created
●● Backscanning
Answer: The process of scanning past health records into the DMS so
there is an existing database of patient information, making the DMS
valuable to the user from the first day of implementation
●● Backward map
