of the following data sets would be most helpful in developing this analysis?
UACDS
Your facility is engaged in a research project concerning patients newly diagnosed with type 2
diabetes. The researchers notice older patients have a longer length of stay than younger
patients.

positive correlation between age and length of stay
Under what circumstances is it acceptable to use a non-probability sample for an audit?

,The facility's Medicare case-mix index has dropped, although other statistical measures appear
constant. The CFO suspects coding errors. What type of coding quality review should be
performed?
focused audit
This type of data display tool is used to illustrate frequency distributions of continuous
variables, such as age and length of stay (LOS):
histogram
The ICD coding system was originally designed to be a ________________
disease tracking system
Patient payments and charges are likely to be found in a:
patient accounting database
Which graph is the best choice to use when exploring the relationship between length of stay
and charge for a set of patients?
scatter diagram
Which of the following situations might result in a compliance audit?
High CC/MCC capture rate
30-day morality rates are considered a
outcome of care measure
A computer software program that assigns appropriate MS-DRGs according to the information
provided for each episode of care is referred to as a
grouper
The surgery department is evaluation its postoperative infection rate of 6 percent. The chief of
surgery asks the quality improvement coordinator to find the post-operation infection rates of
10 similar hospitals in the same geographic region to see how the rates compare. The process is
called ______
benchmarking
The capture of secondary diagnoses that increase the incidence of CCs and MCCs may be
benchmarked against other facilities by using which dataset?
MEDPAR
2|Page
,The science of examining raw data with the purpose of drawing conclusions about that
information is referred to as
data analytics
Analyzing patterns of care can help identify
all of these
Which kind of data might be displayed on a pie chart?
percentage of discharges by third-party payer
In which of the following examples does the gender of the patient constitute information rather
than a data element?
in a study comparing the incidence of myocardial infarctions in black males as compared to
white females
The application of information science to the management of healthcare data and information
through computer technology is referred to as
healthcare informatics
Data taken from the health record and entered into registries and databases are considered
a(n):
secondary data source
Name of element, definition, application in which the data element is found, locator key,
ownership, entity relationships, date first entered system, date element terminated from system
and system of origin are all examples of
metadata
Rates for population-based statistics are reported per 1,000, 10,000, or 100,000 individuals.
Rates for healthcare facility statistics are reported per _______ cases.
100
Which national database was created to collect information on the legal actions (both civil and
criminal) taken against licensed healthcare providers?

Which graphic tool would you use?
3|Page
, line graph
Which data collection program is the basis for the CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services) value-based purchasing program?
Hospital Compare
Fifty percent of patients treated at our facilities have Medicare as their primary payer. This is an
example of what type of information?
aggregate
The percent of antibiotics administered immediately prior to open reduction and internal
fixation (ORIF) surgeries or the percent of deliveries accomplished by cesarean section are
examples of what type of performance measure?
process measure
An important part of the maintenance of the master patient index is to resolve situations where
a patient is assigned to another patient's medical record number. This is an example of which of
the following?
overlay
What database would be most critical to validate and test for users preparing to enter a RHIO or
HIE?
MPI (Master Patient Index)
Your facility is preparing to implement a system wide clinical documentation system. Two years
of data from existing systems will be backloaded into the new system for continuity of care.
Current systems define the field for BMI as either Body-Mass index of BMI. What step should be
taken to ensure the data fills to the EMI in the new system?
data mapping from current to new system
High-quality information is contingent on
reliable data
Assuring that data have been accessed or modified only by those authorized to do so is a
function of
data integrity
ASTM Standard E2522-07 provides guidance to healthcare organizations in developing
