LSUS HCAD750 MODULE 1
healthcare informatics - Answers :the field of information science concerned with the
mgmt of all aspects of health data; combination of principles from: disciplinary science,
computer science,
information science,
cognitive science
informatics - Answers :the science of information management in healthcare
core elements of informatics - Answers :DIKW (data, information, knowledge, wisdom)
data - Answers :raw facts
information - Answers :data that has been interpreted for meaning
knowledge - Answers :The awareness and understanding of a set of information and the
ways that information can be made useful to support a specific task or reach a decision.
wisdom - Answers :appropriate use of knowledge
Foundation of Knowledge model - Answers :helps to explain the ties between
disciplinary science and informatics and knowledge; informatics is viewed as a tool for
finding knowledge
KA - knowledge acquisition
KD - knowledge dissemination
KG - knowledge generation
KP - knowledge processing
Healthcare professionals and knowledge - Answers :professionals are: knowledge
workers, acquirers, users, engineers, managers, developers or generators
knowledge viability - Answers :refers to applications (most technology based) that offer
easily accessible, accurate and timely information
obtained from a variety of resources and methods
presented in a manner as to provide us with the necessary elements to generate new
knowledge.
wisdom is developed through - Answers :knowledge, experience, insight and reflection
informatics competency - Answers :the knowledge, skills, and ability to perform specific
informatics tasks
AHIMA-AMIA task force - Answers :5 domains for all healthcare workers:
, 1. Health information literacy and skills
2. Health informatics skills using the EHR
3. Privacy and confidentiality of health information
4. Health information/ data technical security
5. Basic computer literacy skills
criteria of valuable meaningful information - Answers :accessible, accurate, timely,
complete, cost effective, flexible, reliable, relevant, simple, verifiable, and secure
data integrity - Answers :whole, complete, correct, and consistent data
compromises data integrity - Answers :human error, viruses, worms, other bugs,
hardware failures or crashes, transmission errors, and/or hacker entering the system
dirty data - Answers :errors in the database - duplicate, incomplete, or outdated records
characteristics of quality information - Answers :accessibility, security, timeliness,
accuracy, relevancy, completeness, flexibility, reliability, objectivity, utility, transparency,
verifiability, and reproducibility
information science - Answers :studying the application and usage of information and
knowledge; studies everything that deals with information; multidisciplinary science that
involves aspects from computer science, cognitive science, social science,
communication science, and library science
information processing - Answers :conversion of latent information (not apparent) into
manifest (obvious/clearly apparent) information
information system (IS) - Answers :a set of hardware, software, data, people, and
procedures that work together to collect, create, and distribute useful information;
computer-based information systems (CBISs)
Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) - Answers :the traditional process used to
develop information systems that fit with the strategic business plan of an organization
waterfall model - Answers :sequential development process; each phase must be
completely finished before the next begins
rapid prototyping or rapid application development (RAD) - Answers :fast way to add
functionality through prototyping and user testing
object oriented systems development (OOSD) - Answers :approach to systems
development that combines the logic of the systems development life cycle with the
power of object-oriented modeling and programming
