1. Several barriers to progress exist in the use of healthcare informatics, data
sharing, and healthcare information exchange.
What is an example of a barrier that is associated with health care clinicians'
experience with health IT? - ANSWER ✓ Health IT system design and
usability - When the design of the system is not aligned with the clinician's
real-world workflows, the usability of the system diminishes, and this
negatively affects the clinician's productivity.
2. Consumer health informatics is considered a subspecialty area of healthcare
informatics. It involves insight into consumer preferences and healthcare
data information that allows consumers to actively plan, track, and
participate in their healthcare strategies while also communicating with their
healthcare providers for guidance and monitoring.
What are three barriers to using this subspecialty type of healthcare
informatics? - ANSWER ✓ Privacy issues, cognitive disabilities, low health
literacy - Many consumers remain wary of privacy issues around their
personal health records. Individuals over the age of 65 may find the use of
technology. Individuals with low health literacy may be intimidated by
unfamiliar terminology and prefer interacting directly with their clinicians.
3. AHIMA - ANSWER ✓ American Health Information Management
Association - is the leading voice and authority in health information,
, wherever it is found. Our people work at the intersection of healthcare,
technology, and business.
4. Information management CDSS includes - ANSWER ✓ patient education
material, info buttons, or guidelines for practice
5. Current functionality of EHR includes: - ANSWER ✓ • Point of care (POC)
access by practitioners.
• Support for multiple users to view data on same
patient at the same time.
• Results review (laboratory, pathology, imaging, notes,
etc.)
• Quality metrics.
• Dashboards.
• Documentation.
• Electronic communication.
• Order management.
• Patient monitoring in real time.
• Patient summary displays.
• Patient support.
• Medication administration record.
• Population health.
• Bar code medication administration.
• External reference resources.
• Billing
6. Meaningful use requires that use of an EHRS results in - ANSWER ✓
improved quality, safety and
efficiency while reducing inconsistencies in healthcare; increases patients'
and families' active involvement in their care; increases the coordination of
healthcare; advances the health of the public; and safeguards the privacy and
security of personal health data and information
7. Remaining challenges to using EHRS include - ANSWER ✓ : • Integration
of behavioral health and primary care
workflows.
• Information exchange.
• Limited resources.
• Work-arounds.
,8. Work-arounds - ANSWER ✓ variations in procedures and processes created
to accomplish work when systems or workflows are deficient or inefficient
which can, and fre-quently do, defeat positive features such as safety.
9. EHRS implementation considerations include: - ANSWER ✓ • Compliance
with requirements including ONC Certification for MU, as well as other
regulatory and accreditation demands.
• The creation of the electronic infrastructure, necessary policies and
procedures to provide access to patient information.
• Funds for purchase costs, improvements, ongoing maintenance and
support. • Standardization of terms. • Security, privacy, and
confidentiality.
• Measures to ensure data integrity including creating
and maintaining master files and data dictionaries.
• Backup options
• Ownership of patient information.
10.mHealth - ANSWER ✓ a form of health information technology, not a
health information system. It is used to analyze, aggregate, share, and protect
health information data derived from or used in portable devices.
11.HIT is used to ..... - ANSWER ✓ used to support systems that collect data
needed for patient care, population health management, and for the sharing
of this information within a secure system.
12.The health information exchange (HIE) infrastructure - ANSWER ✓ is a
process for bi-directional sharing of patient health-related information
among primary providers (nurse practitioners, physicians, and physician
assistants), consulting specialists, hospitals, ambulatory centers, nursing
homes, dentists, audiologists, optometrists, and occupa-tional-and school-
health professional
13.CONCERN CDS - ANSWER ✓ identifies nursing documentation patterns
that are for patient deterioration and generates a predictive early warning
score. The CONCERN CDS consists of two main components:
1. the decision engine, which uses AI models to analyze the content and
patterns of nursing EHR data (such as flow sheet entries and nursing notes)
, 2. front-end interfaces that display the predicted CONCERN levels (green,
yellow, red), with red indicating that a patient is at the highest risk for
deterioration. A web application provides tracking of the CONCERN level
over time and facilitates transparency of the AI models by displaying what
factors contributed most to the current calculation.
14.A nurse has a new order to begin antiarrhythmic medication via IV drip.
What needs to be done electronically before this medication can be safely
administered? - ANSWER ✓ Scan the patient's armband & the medication
15.What is the primary purpose of a clinical decision support system (CDSS)? -
ANSWER ✓ It provides clinicians with suggested care information
16.How is clinical decision support system (CDSS) represented in an EHR? -
ANSWER ✓ Through alerts & reminders
17.In a healthcare setting, there is resistance towards using a new EHR. The
staff insists the prior system was much faster than navigating this new EHR.
Which method should be used to motivate staff to adopt this EHR? -
ANSWER ✓ Involve staff in the implementation process
18.Which tool highlights the areas in which information technology can
improve efficiency & support an interdisciplinary healthcare team? -
ANSWER ✓ A workflow analysis
19.Which statement defines electronic protected health information (ePHI)? -
ANSWER ✓ It is information used to specifically identify an individual
20.An informatics nurse is developing a web-based application for patient care.
Which statement accurately describes the internet? - ANSWER ✓ An
unregulated network of networks
21.What is role-based access an example of? - ANSWER ✓ Authenticity
22.HIPAA stands for. - ANSWER ✓ Health Insurance Portability &
Accountability Act
