Informatics exam test questions with correct
answers
Informatics: It is the science that encompasses information science and computer
Science to study the process, management and retrieval of information
1. The role of technology in nursing: Reform nursing education to promote quality
education that prepares a workforce capable of practice in a health care
environment where technology continues to increase in amount of sophistication
QSEN initiative to develop competencies of future nursing graduates in six key
areas (informatics)
2. Basic computer literacy skills word processing: Healthcare data base
Spreadsheet applications
Presentation software
Email
3. Information literacy skills: Locate, access, and evaluate clinical data
Perform bibliographic retrievals using the Internet and library based resources
4. Foundations for categories: Health data
- stored
- retrieved
- shared
- organized
6. Electronic health records: Digitalized record of patients health history;
records from many locations, sources
, Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
Built in safeguards for confidentiality and security
7. Personal health records: Electronic application through which patients can
maintain and manage their own Health information
Realtime access to information and the ability to contribute to the records
Two types:
-standalone
- tethered/connected
8. Clinical decision support: Expected to be commonplace by 2010
Access at point of care to cutting edge research, best practices, decision making
support to improve patient care
-automatic reminders about preventative practices
-drug alerts for dosing and interactions
-electronic resources for data interpretation and clinical decision making
9. computerized provider order entry (CPOE): Growth partly due to
designation as key patient safety initiative by leapfrog group
Also recommendation by institute of medicine study, "to err is human,"in 1999
Clinical software program to write orders electronically
Clinical decision support (CDS) via access to information tools
10. Challenges of translating CPOE into action: Not viewed as immediately
necessity New error types
Changes in workflow and staff roles
Cultural obstacles: resistance to change; reluctance to take on increased cognitive
workload
11. Point of care technology (POCT): Testing at or near site of patient
-small bench top analyzes
