NR599 FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 100% PASS 2026 EDITION
Smart documentation forms - ANS forms that are tailored based on patient data to
emphasize data elements pertinent to the patient's conditions and healthcare needs.
Order sets, care plans and protocols - ANS Structured approaches to encourage correct and
efficient ordering, promote evidence-based best practices, and provide different management
recommendations for different patient situations.
Parameter guideline - ANS algorithms to promote correct entry of orders and
documentation.
Critiques and "immediate warnings" - ANS Alerts that are presented just after a user has
entered an order, a prescription or a documentation item, to show a potential hazard or a
recommendation for further information.
Relevant data summaries - ANS A single-patient view that summarizes, organizes and filters a
patient's information to highlight important management issues.
Multiple monitors - ANS a display of activity among all patients on a care unit, which helps
providers prioritize tasks and ensures that important activities are not omitted while providers
are multitasking among patients.

,Predictive and retrospective analytics: - ANS Analytic methods that combine multiple factors
using statistical and artificial intelligence techniques to provide risk predictions, stratify patients
and measure progress on broad initiatives.
"Info" buttons - ANS filtered reference information and knowledge resources within fields or
"buttons" where info is provided to the end user in the context of the current data display also
referred to as metadata, or "data about data".
Expert workup and management advisers - ANS Diagnostic and expert systems that track and
advise a patient workup and management of the patient based on evidence-based protocols.
Event-triggered alerts - ANS Warnings triggered within the system based on data that alert
the clinical user to a new event occurring asynchronously, such as an abnormal lab result.
Reminders - ANS Time-triggered events within the system reminding the clinical user of a
task needed to be based on predetermined time within the system.
clinical transformation - ANS relative to workflow redesign; it is a complete alteration of the
clinical environment and should be used cautiously to describe redesign efforts; transformation
is defined as "a radical change approach that produces a more responsive organization that is
more capable of performing in unstable and changing environments that organizations continue
to be faced with";
- this would imply that the manner in which work is carried out and the outcomes achieved are
completely different from the prior state. which is not always true when the change involves
implementing technology
- technology can be used to launch or in conjunction with a clinical transformation initiative but
the implementation of technology alone is not considered transformational.
-
Optimization - ANS - when workflow analysis occurs post implementation, it is often referred
to as ________________
- it is the process of moving conditions past their current states and into more efficient and
effective methods of performing tasks.

, -it is considered to be the act, process, or methodology of making something (as a design,
system or decision) as fully perfect, functional, and effective as possible.
Process Analysis - ANS breaking down the work process into a sequential series of steps that
can be examined and assessed to improve effectiveness and efficiency; explains how work takes
place, gets done, or how it can be done.
Workflow analysis - ANS observation and documentation of workflow to better understand
what is happening in the current environment and how it can be altered is referred to as this
process.
- it requires careful attention to detail and the ability to moderate group discussions, organize
concepts, and generate solutions.
- this is part of every functional area the INS engages in.
Process Map - ANS a typical output of workflow analysis is a visual depiction of the process
called a ______ ________; this provides an excellent tool to identify specific steps in the
workflow analysis process.
- it also provides a vehicle for communication and a tool upon which to build educational
material, procedures and policies.
- an example is the swim-lane technique
workflow - ANS - a term used to describe the action or execution of a series of tasks in a
prescribed sequence.
- a progression of steps (tasks, events, interactions) that consitute:
1) a work process
2) involves two or more persons
3) creates and adds value to the organizations activities.
- also known as a process or process flow particularly in the context of implementation.
swim-lane technique - ANS because workflow crosses many different care providers, it may
be useful to construct the process map using this technique, which uses categories such as
functional work groups and roles to visually depict groups of work and to indicate who performs
the work.
