care and increasing quality and cost effective clinical outcomes.
standards of care Correct Answer: parameters to measure the quality of
healthcare
clinical guidelines Correct Answer: statements to help make decisions about
health specific circumstances.
clinical pathway Correct Answer: structured multi-disciplined plan of care to
support clinical guidelines and protocol to improve continuity and coordination.
4 parts of clinical pathway Correct Answer: 1. timeline
2. categories of care/activities and interventions
3. intermediate and long term outcome criteria
4. variance tracking
are 4 parts of what?
decision tree Correct Answer: used to select the best course of action in
decisions where there is no clear decisions.
,descriptive screening tool Correct Answer: identifies characteristics about a
population to show health prevention.
predictive screening tool Correct Answer: shows what may happen to a specific
population.
evaluative screening tool Correct Answer: evaluates the
understanding/effectiveness
SF-36 Correct Answer: predictive screening tool to assess functional health and
well being. Assesses physical and mental health.
- used in health economics, cost-effectiveness of health tx
-evals individual patient health status.
- does not consider sleep
-scored 00-100, lower score-> incr. disability
patient activation measure Correct Answer: 13 item predictive screening tool to
evaluate patient's knowledge, skills, confidence in self-care.
- higher the score the better (scored 0-52)
-predicts health care outcomes, medication adherence and ER visits.
health risk assessment Correct Answer: predictive screening tool: patient's self
assessment of their health and how likely they will seek care.
- predicts future health costs
- predicts likely-hood of progression of their illness to a worse condition.
,- examples: PHQ-9, etc.
rose Q Correct Answer: health risk assessment for angina, MI, coronary heart
disease.
defined angina pectoris as, "a chest pain or discomfort with these
characteristics:
(a) the site must include either the sternum (any level) or the left arm and left
anterior chest (defined as the anterior chest wall between the levels of clavicle
and lower end of sternum),
(b) it must be provoked by either hurrying or walking uphill (or by walking on the
level, for those who never attempt more),
(c) when it occurs on walking it must make the subject either stop or slacken
pace, unless nitroglycerin is taken, (d) it must disappear on a majority of
occasions in 10 min or less from the time when the subject stands still."
Possible myocardial infarction1 was defined as, "one or more attacks of severe
pain across the front of the chest lasting for 30 min or longer."
seattle angina questionnaire Correct Answer: 19-item self-administered health
risk assessment for angina and functional artery disease measuring five
dimensions of coronary artery disease:
1 physical limitation, 2 anginal stability, 3 anginal frequency, 4 treatment
satisfaction and 5 disease perception.
-score of 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate better function (eg, less physical
limitation, less angina, and better quality of life).
, arthritis impact measurement scales Correct Answer: health risk assessment:
Disease-specific measure of physical, social, and emotional well-being
designed as a measure of outcome in arthritis.
-scales: mobility, physical activity (walking, bending, lifting), dexterity, household
activity (managing money and medications, housekeeping), social activities,
activities of daily living, pain, depression, and anxiety.
Score range: Range is 0-10 for each section. Total health score 0-60.
--> Zero represents good health status, 10 and 60 represent poor health status.
functional living index-cancer Correct Answer: health risk assessment: Cancer-
specific, functionally-oriented quality of life instrument.
-22 items assessing 5 domains: Physical well-being and ability, emotional state,
sociability, family situation, nausea
- Higher score indicates better quality of life.
BASIS-32 Correct Answer: health risk assessment: 32-item Behavior and Symptom
Identification Scale. behavioral health assessment tool.
- measures the change in self-reported symptom and problem difficulty over the
course of treatment.
- assesses: Relation to Self and Others, Depression and Anxiety, Daily Living and
Role Functioning, Impulsive and Addictive Behavior, Psychosis.
- higher score poorer outcome
