AHIMA - RHIT EXAM - CHAPTER 1 - DATA ANALYSIS AND
MANAGEMENT TEST.
1. A critical early step in designing an EHR is to develop
X
a(n) in which the
characteristics of each data
element are defined.
a. Accreditation manual
b. Core content
c. Continuity of care record
d. Data dictionary
2. Once hospital discharge abstract systems were devel- X
oped and their ability to provide comparative
data to hospitals was established, it became
necessary to develop:
a. Data sets
b. Data elements
c. Electronic data interchange
d. Bills of mortality
3. In healthcare, data sets serve two purposes. The first
X
is to identify data elements to be
collected about each patient. The second
is to:
a. Provide uniform data definitions
b. Guide efforts toward computerization
c. Determine statistical formulas
d. Provide a research database
4. A health information technician is responsible for de- X
signing a data collection form to collect data
on patients in an acute-care hospital. The first

5. Which of the following is not a characteristic of the X
common healthcare data sets such as UHDDS
and UACDS?
a. They define minimum data elements to be
collect- ed.
b. They provide a complete and exhaustive list
of data elements that must be collected.
c. They provide a framework for data
collection to which an individual facility can
add data items.
d. The federal government recommends, but
does not mandate, implementation of most of
the
data sets.
6. In a paper-based system, the completion of the chart
X
is monitored in a special area of the HIM
department called the file.
a. Incomplete record
b. Permanent
c. Temporary
d. Remote storage
7. Consider the following sequence of numbers. What X
