The needs of patients evolve over time and healthcare organizations must continuously adapt to
these changing needs - Answer True
Middleware is software that connects software applications to the data and technology
supporting the application; in other words, middleware is a transaction layer that enables
communication and data management for multiple or distributed software applications. -
Answer True
, The information technology that's supports healthcare functions. It includes all computer
systems (including hardware, software, operating systems, and end-user devices connecting
people to the systems), networks ( the electronic connectivity between systems, people, and
organizations), processes and workflows embedded in those systems, and the data those
systems create and capture through the use of software - Answer Health information systems
(HIS)
The "electronic highway" that carries data, images, voice, and information traffic between the
myriad users of the health information systems and technology. It includes data centers,
computers, computer networks, database management devices, and software systems. There is
nothing more important than a reliable robust network infrastructure as the foundation of an
organizations HIS and technology plan. - Answer Infrastructure
The physical machines that use software to perform their functions. Hardware in an HIS
architecture includes computers, servers, tablets, printers, devices, and more. - Answer
Hardware
A unified set of computer programs designed to support related functions and work of end
users; any set of machine-readable instructions that a computer uses to perform specific
operations. In healthcare, common software functions include the types of software
represented in the in the HIS planning framework — namely, patient and provider support,
institutional processes, and clinical and management reporting and analytics - Answer
Software
Software that connects software applications to the data and technology supporting
application. As a transaction layer, it enables communication and data management for multiple
or distributed software applications - Answer Middleware
Individuals who use the products after they have been fully developed and marketed. - Answer
End-users
In HIS, as all other computerized industries, computers that are linked exchange data using
connections. These connections form a network via linkages, which are enables through
fiberoptics, cables, wires, routers, switches, Wi-Fi, and other technologies, to facilitate
communications and resource sharing among a wide variety of users - Answer Networks
The best methodology of HIS planning is a top-down approach - Answer False
