1) Healthcare today should address the Quintuple Aim. What of the following best demonstrates h
br br br br br br br br br br br br br
ow healthcare information technology might be used to help address disparities in care?
br br br br br br br br br br br br
A) Collect data elements that could be used to identify vulnerable individuals
br br br br br br br br br br
B) Use collected data to identify vulnerable individuals
br br br br br br
C) Incorporate GPS locators into predictions br br br br
D) A and B br br br
Answer: b r b r
D
Explanation: A) Many demographic and other relevant data elements are/or could easily be collec
b r br br br br br br br br br br br br
t that could be used to identify vulnerable individuals.
br br br br br br br br
B) Collected data can be used and leveraged to identify vulnerable individuals.
br br br br br br br br br br
C) Location may be an indicator of risk but zip code alone does not indicate vulnerability. Other fa
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br
ctors that include familial predisposition, occupational risks, economic level, personal health hab
br br br br br br br br br br br
its, living conditions, and community support all factor into determination of vulnerability.

2) Which of the following best reflects benefits realized from the use of health information te
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br
chnology?
A) Improved safety, improved efficiencies, decreased clinician documentation times
br br br br br br br
B) Improved safety, improved efficiencies, improved charge capture, improved communication
br br br br br br br br
C) Improved safety, improved efficiencies, improved protection of personal health information
br br br br br br br br br
D) Improved safety, improved efficiencies, significant reduction in costs for care, improved p
br br br br br br br br br br br
rotection of patient informationbr br br
Answer: B b r b r
Explanation: A) HIT can result in improved safety through measures such as positive patient ide
b r br br br br br br br br br br br br br
ntification and may improve efficiencies but clinician documentation burden is an issue seen with p
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br
oorly designed and poorly used systems.
br br br br br
B) HIT can result in improved safety through positive patient identification, alerts, and similar
br br br br br br br br br br br br br
measures. HIT may improve some efficiencies such as improved charge capture and shortened r
br br br br br br br br br br br br br
evenue cycle and theoretically improves communication.
br br br br br
C) HIT can result in improved safety and improved efficiencies in some respects but despite safe
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br
guards to protect patient health information it also increases vulnerabilities in some respects.
br br br br br br br br br br br br
D) Despite its promise to significantly reduce costs for care costs associated with the purchase and m
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br
aintenance of HIT, among other U.S. issues have not resulted in significant reduction in costs for care.

3) In which ways can health information technology support the learning health system?
br br br br br br br br br br br
A) Incorporation of evidence- br br
based practice and big data findings to provide care interventions that are proven to be effective
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br
B) Real-time analysis of data br br br
C) Integration of devices and the data that they collect to inform care decisions br br br br br br br br br br br br
D) All of the above br br br br
Answer: D b r
Explanation: A) Big data findings supplement EBP often providing information and knowledge ib r br br br br br br br br br br br
n a more timely fashion.
br br br br
B) Real-
time analysis of data can be particularly useful when healthcare delivery systems and providers are
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br
facing challenges that are new to them as was seen with the emergence of a body of knowledge rela
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br
tive to the impact of COVID and most successful treatment modalities.
br br br br br br br br br br
C) Data streams from all relevant sources provide a more complete picture.
br br br br br br br br br br
D) A combination of research and big data findings from a myriad of sources that is analyzed in re
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br

B) Data in digital format br br br
C) Interoperability and data sharing br br br
D) Prerequisite information knowledge and skills br br br br br
Answer: A, B, C, D b r br br br
Explanation: A) Standardized languages and terminologies ensure that concepts maintain a unifor
b r br br br br br br br br br br

br br br br br br br br br
B) Data in digital format is conducive to electronic capture, storage, analysis, transmission, and r

C) In order to have value data must be shareable which is best attained when systems are in
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br

D) Computer, information, and (for the consumer), health literacy are foundational skills in the lea br br br br br br br br br br br br br

br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br

Answer: C b r b r
Explanation: A) SAFER Guides have nothing to do with reimbursement although the Centers for
b r br br br br br br br br br br br br br
Medicare and Medicaid added them to ensure an ongoing focus on improving interoperability and p
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br

br br br br
B) SAFER Guides complement tools and research developed by the Agency for Healthcare
br br br br br br br br br br br br
Research and Quality and the ONCHIT, not from vendors.
