Technology
Objective Assessment Review (Qns & Ans)
2025
**Question 1:*
*Case Study: A large hospital is implementing a new
integrated electronic health record (EHR) system to
streamline workflows among various departments and
enable data exchange with external laboratories.
**Question:* Which interoperability standard is emerging as
the key framework to support seamless, secure data
exchange and third-party app integration in this scenario?
A. HL7 v2 Messaging Standard
B. HL7 FHIR
C. DICOM
©2025
,D. LOINC
**Correct ANS:* B. HL7 FHIR
**Rationale:* HL7 FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability
Resources) leverages modern web protocols and is
designed to enhance interoperability and ease of integration
across disparate systems, making it ideal for contemporary
healthcare IT initiatives.
---
**Question 2:*
*Case Study: A healthcare organization is shifting its patient
data storage to a cloud-based solution. To address
concerns related to regulatory compliance, privacy, and
data control under HIPAA, the IT leadership is evaluating
different cloud deployment models.
**Question:* Which cloud deployment model most
effectively meets these requirements?
A. Public Cloud
B. Private Cloud
C. Hybrid Cloud
D. Community Cloud
©2025
,**Correct ANS:* B. Private Cloud
**Rationale:* A private cloud provides dedicated
infrastructure and custom security controls that better
address HIPAA compliance and data privacy requirements,
ensuring a higher level of control over sensitive healthcare
data.
---
**Question 3:*
*Case Study: A hospital’s IT department is deploying
various IoT devices—such as wearable patient monitors—
on its floors. As these devices transmit sensitive patient
data over the network, secure communication becomes a
top priority.
**Question:* Which security protocol is most commonly
used to encrypt data transmitted from IoT devices across
networks?
A. Transport Layer Security (TLS)
B. Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2)
C. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
D. Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
**Correct ANS:* A. Transport Layer Security (TLS)
©2025
, **Rationale:* TLS is the industry-standard protocol for
securing data transmitted over networks. It employs robust
encryption (often using algorithms like AES) and is critical
for safeguarding sensitive information transmitted by IoT
devices.
---
**Question 4:*
*Case Study: A clinical research hospital is implementing a
clinical decision support system (CDSS) that employs
machine learning to analyze large amounts of patient data.
To maintain accuracy and fairness, the system must adapt
to changes in patient demographics and clinical practices
over time.
**Question:* Which practice is most crucial to ensure that
the predictive model remains unbiased and effective?
A. Continuous model retraining with current and diverse
data
B. Deploying a static algorithm without periodic updates
C. Reducing the dataset size to limit computational
complexity
D. Outsourcing model updates to an external vendor
without oversight
