Electronic medication administration record - Answer A patient presents to the inpatient unit
following surgery. The receiving nurse has not heard a report from the operating room (OR)
nurse. The patient is experiencing great discomfort, and the receiving nurse wishes to see the
documentation for any pain medication given by the previous nurse. The leadership has not
achieved meaningful use stage 2 yet.
Which point of care system software will improve communication?
Laboratory information system
Computerized provider order entry
Picture archiving communication system
Electronic medication administration record
Interoperability protocols - Answer A medical facility meaningful use objective is to develop
a health IT system. The medical facility objective is to improve patient engagement. In order to
improve patient engagement, it will be necessary to communicate with patients through a
patient portal.
What will be needed for this implementation?
Local area network
Open source software
Interoperability protocols
Clinical workflow analysis
Lack of communication from management - Answer Leadership at a healthcare organization
implements a new electronic healthcare record system without performing appropriate
workflow analysis. The staff stopped using the system within one week and the implementation
was unsuccessful.
,Failure to select an appropriate vendor
Lack of communication from management
The server was configured incorrectly. - Answer A healthcare organization implemented a
new electronic health records system using an in-house server. From the first week of go-live,
users complained that the system was too slow and was unusable when a lot of users were
entering data at the same time. The information technology department has determined the
issue to be an infrastructure problem.
What should have been the foreseeable cause of the system performance problem?
The server room is too hot.
The network cable runs are too long.
The server was configured incorrectly.
The user access privileges are inadequate.
Data sent to the HMIS from a wearable device that tracks in real time - Answer A patient is at
high risk of stroke. The patient's physician is concerned about adherence to the recommended
weight loss and diet recommendations. The physician is on an integrated hospital management
information system (HMIS).
Which documentation format will ensure accurate and timely data is presented to the
physician?
Manual logging of data in a logbook for entry into the HMIS
Data sent to the HMIS from a wearable device that tracks in real time
HMIS alerts about out-of-range readings sent to the patient via a patient portal
Record of symptoms completed by patient via a paper report and faxed to HMIS
Security and ease of use - Answer A hospital realizes patients are expecting access to
personal health records on demand. In response, they want to build a mobile health application
that would be widely adopted and meet the needs of the majority of the patients.
Which feature of the mobile healthcare application should be the focus to meet these goals?
, Immediate use of emerging platforms
Decreased data storage costs
Preservation of the longitudinal patient record - Answer As part of an enterprise
implementation of a new electronic health record, a healthcare organization decides to migrate
10 years of legacy data from the previous system into a cloud.
What are two benefits to this organization by doing this?
Choose 2 answers
Decreased data storage costs
Quicker learning curve among clinical staff
Preservation of the longitudinal patient record
Improved quality assurance testing during implementation phase
Communication with people who have similar conditions - Answer Social media has changed
the way patients access and share medical information. One of the most active groups of
information seekers is made up of those who suffer from rare or chronic conditions.
What does this new technology offer these patients?
Blogs that are reviewed by medical professionals
Communication with people who have similar conditions
Experimental treatment options that are available for use
Research on conditions that has been validated for accuracy
Online support group of patients with the same condition - Answer A patient diagnosed with
cancer is searching the Internet for more information about the condition.
Which website would be helpful to this patient?
Advertisement about cures using essential oils
