.A new nurse is being oriented to the health IT system.Which statement by the nurse about clinical
decision support systems (CDSSs) indicates that the nurse needs more education?
CDSS alerts only occur when a patient is experiencing a true medical emergency.
CDSSs lack the ability to reason beyond the programmed logic.
Some clinicians have become overly reliant on CDSS alerts.
CDSSs assist with the process of managing patient data. - ANSWER-CDSS alerts only occur when a
patient is experiencing a true medical emergency.
Applied Clinical Informatics pg 224
Clinical decision support assists clinical workflow at the time patient care is delivere
.A nurse informaticist and health IT implementation team are working with a small group of nurses
testing a health IT system prior to full implementation. The team discovers that the health IT system
does not perform as expected during the test. What should the implementation team do next?
A.The members of the health IT implementation team should continue the adaptation process.
B. The system should be tested with a larger group of providers.
C.The members of the health IT implementation team should terminate work on the system and start
over.
D. The system should be fully implemented and adjusted as necessary. - ANSWER-A.The members of the
health IT implementation team should continue the adaptation process.
Applied Clinical Informatics pg 156
The members of the health IT implementation team should test the system with a small group of
providers to decide if the system performs as expected. If it does not, the health IT team continues the
adaptation process to fix system errors.
