NR599 FINAL EXAM QUESTION
WITH A+ GRADED ANSWERS
Smart documentation forms - correct answer-forms that are tailored based on patient
data to emphasize data elements pertinent to the patient's conditions and healthcare
needs.
Order sets, care plans and protocols - correct answer-Structured approaches to
encourage correct and efficient ordering, promote evidence-based best practices, and
provide different management recommendations for different patient situations.
Parameter guideline - correct answer-algorithms to promote correct entry of orders and
documentation.
Critiques and "immediate warnings" - correct answer-Alerts that are presented just after
a user has entered an order, a prescription or a documentation item, to show a potential
hazard or a recommendation for further information.
Relevant data summaries - correct answer-A single-patient view that summarizes,
organizes and filters a patient's information to highlight important management issues.
Multiple monitors - correct answer-a display of activity among all patients on a care unit,
which helps providers prioritize tasks and ensures that important activities are not
omitted while providers are multitasking among patients.
Predictive and retrospective analytics: - correct answer-Analytic methods that combine
multiple factors using statistical and artificial intelligence techniques to provide risk
predictions, stratify patients and measure progress on broad initiatives.
"Info" buttons - correct answer-filtered reference information and knowledge resources
within fields or "buttons" where info is provided to the end user in the context of the
current data display also referred to as metadata, or "data about data".
Expert workup and management advisers - correct answer-Diagnostic and expert
systems that track and advise a patient workup and management of the patient based
on evidence-based protocols.
Event-triggered alerts - correct answer-Warnings triggered within the system based on
data that alert the clinical user to a new event occurring asynchronously, such as an
abnormal lab result.
, Reminders - correct answer-Time-triggered events within the system reminding the
clinical user of a task needed to be based on predetermined time within the system.
clinical transformation - correct answer-relative to workflow redesign; it is a complete
alteration of the clinical environment and should be used cautiously to describe redesign
efforts; transformation is defined as "a radical change approach that produces a more
responsive organization that is more capable of performing in unstable and changing
environments that organizations continue to be faced with";
- this would imply that the manner in which work is carried out and the outcomes
achieved are completely different from the prior state. which is not always true when the
change involves implementing technology
- technology can be used to launch or in conjunction with a clinical transformation
initiative but the implementation of technology alone is not considered transformational.
-
Optimization - correct answer-- when workflow analysis occurs post implementation, it is
often referred to as ________________
- it is the process of moving conditions past their current states and into more efficient
and effective methods of performing tasks.
-it is considered to be the act, process, or methodology of making something (as a
design, system or decision) as fully perfect, functional, and effective as possible.
Process Analysis - correct answer-breaking down the work process into a sequential
series of steps that can be examined and assessed to improve effectiveness and
efficiency; explains how work takes place, gets done, or how it can be done.
Workflow analysis - correct answer-observation and documentation of workflow to better
understand what is happening in the current environment and how it can be altered is
referred to as this process.
- it requires careful attention to detail and the ability to moderate group discussions,
organize concepts, and generate solutions.
- this is part of every functional area the INS engages in.
Process Map - correct answer-a typical output of workflow analysis is a visual depiction
of the process called a ______ ________; this provides an excellent tool to identify
specific steps in the workflow analysis process.
- it also provides a vehicle for communication and a tool upon which to build educational
material, procedures and policies.
- an example is the swim-lane technique
workflow - correct answer-- a term used to describe the action or execution of a series
of tasks in a prescribed sequence.
- a progression of steps (tasks, events, interactions) that consitute:
1) a work process
2) involves two or more persons
3) creates and adds value to the organizations activities.
