HSM 200 Questions with accurate answers
ACGME Ans✓✓✓ Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical
Education- The independent, not-for-profit professional origination that
accredits 3-7 years programs of advanced education and clinical practice
required by physicians to provide direct patient care in recognized
medical specialty.
Assisted Living Faculty Ans✓✓✓ Must be able to perform some level
of ADLs
Benefits of EHR Ans✓✓✓ Support the organization's strategic goals
and objectives
DRG Ans✓✓✓ Diagnosis-Related Groups- a case payment system that
radically changed hospital reimbursement shifting hospital
reimbursement from the retrospective to a prospective basis. The DRG
system provided incentives for the hospital to spend only what was
needed to achieve optimal patient outcomes. if outcomes could be
achieved at a cost lower than the preset payment, the hospital received
an excess payment for those cases. If the hospital spent more to treat
cases than allowed, it absorbed the excess cost. this payment system was
widely adopted by nongovernmental health insurers.
EHR Ans✓✓✓ EHRs focus on the total health of the patient—going
beyond standard clinical data collected in the provider's office and
inclusive of a broader view on a patient's care. EHRs are designed to
reach out beyond the health organization that originally collects and
compiles the information. They are built to share information with other
health care providers, such as laboratories and specialists, so they
, contain information from all the clinicians involved in the patient's care.
The National Alliance for Health Information Technology stated that
EHR data "can be created, managed, and consulted by authorized
clinicians and staff across more than one healthcare organization."
EMR Ans✓✓✓ Electronic medical records (EMRs) are a digital version
of the paper charts in the clinician's office. An EMR contains the
medical and treatment history of the patients in one practice. EMRs have
advantages over paper records. For example, EMRs allow clinicians to:
Track data over time
Easily identify which patients are due for preventive screenings or
checkups
Check how their patients are doing on certain parameters—such as
blood pressure readings or vaccinations
Monitor and improve overall quality of care within the practice
EMR Goals Ans✓✓✓ -the tool that promises to provide the platform
from which new functionality and new services can be provided for
patients
-Improve Overall Quality of Care
-Firewall to block unwanted access
-Creates network between providers
EMR Issues Ans✓✓✓ -gadgets cost too much money - financial issues
- privacy and security concerns
-less patient doctor interaction
