What is an electronic medical record (EMR)? - ANSWER electronic patient
record used by a single organization
What is an electronic health record (EHR)? - ANSWER used by more than one
organization
What is a personal health record (PHR)? - ANSWER electronic form of
patient's medical record that the patient can take home with them
What is the most important directive for electronic health record design? -

What is the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) -
ANSWER - health-care component known as the Health Information

nursing informatics theorists describe the components of the Data,
Information, Knowledge, Wisdom (DIKW) continuum as follows (Ronquillo et
al., 2016):
• Data—discrete elements that lack interpretation
• Information—data that has been interpreted, organized, or structured
• Knowledge—information that has been synthesized so that
, interrelationships have been identified
• Wisdom—appropriate use of knowledge in managing or solving human
problems
What are methods of information technology (IT)? - ANSWER - automated
medication administration
- unit-dose systems
- point-of-care clinical documentation systems
- computerized provider order entry system (CPOE)
- electronic medical/health records
- clinical decision support
- accelerated health information exchange
