1.Information System: an automated system that uses computer hardware and software to record,
manipulate, store, recover, and disseminate data (that is, a system that receives and processes input and
provides output)
2.Financial applications: software applications that handle patient accounts, budgets, and other
financial activities
3.Mainframe computers: large computers that are used by the government and other
organizations that require speed and the ability to process large amounts of data.
4. Dumb Terminals: all of the processing is performed at the server or mainframe
5. Cloud Computing: a system that operates on a computer that is owned and maintained by a
vendor.
6. Intranet: a private information network that uses Internet technologies; however, its servers are located
inside
A firewall or security barrier so that the general public cannot gain access to information housed within the
network
7.Health Information Exchange: the exchange of health information electronically between
providers and others with the same level of interoperability.
8.Evidence-based medicine: healthcare services based on clinical methods that have been
thoroughly tested through controlled, peer-reviewed biomedical studies
9.Clinical pathways: a tool designed to coordinate multidisciplinary care planning for specific
diagnoses and treatments
10.Clinical practice guidelines: provide a detailed, step-by-step guide used by healthcare
practitioners to make knowledge-based decisions related to patient care and issued by an authoritative
organization such as a medical society.
,11. Health Informatics: scientific discipline that is concerned with the cognitive, informatio
processing, and
Communication tasks of healthcare practice, education, and research, including the information science and
technology to support these tasks
12. Data Analytics: the science of examining raw data with the purpose of drawing conclusions abo
that
Information
13. Data mining: process of extracting and analyzing large volumes of data from a database for the
purpose of identifying hidden and sometimes subtle relationships or patterns and using those
relationships to predict behaviors.
14. Dashboards: reports of process measures to help leaders follow progress to assist with strategic
planning
15. Descriptive statistics: set of statistical techniques used to describe data, such as means, frequen
Distributions, and standard deviations; describes the characteristics of a specific group or a population
16.Inferential statistics: set of statistical techniques that allows researchers to make generalizations
about a population's characteristics on the basis of a sample's characteristics,
, 17.Predictive modeling: process used to identify patterns that can be used to predict the odds of a
particular outcome based on the observed data. Uses historical data in order to predict what is likely to
happen in the future.

management, data analytics, and data reporting
19.Clinical Information Systems: collects and stores medical, nursing, clinical ancillary areas
(such as radiology and laboratory), and therapy department information related to patient care
20. Document management system: electronic method of capturing and managing
documents.
21. Target sheets: pages that contain only a barcode that tells the scanner and, ultimately, the computer

memory and magnetic hard drive
Abstracting and quality control workstation: workstation is used for indexing and

quality control
24.Backscanning: process of scanning past health records into the DMS so there is an existing
database of patient information
25. Symbiology: format; for barcodes it is Code 39, also known as Code 3 of 9
26. Radiology Information System (RIS): used to collect, store, and provide information on
radiological tests such as x-rays, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed
tomography (CT), and positron emission tomography (PET)
27. Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS): integrated information
