MANAGEMENT EXAM | QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS | LATEST
EXAM
evidence-based medicine - CORRECT ANSWER - Healthcare services based
on clinical methods that have been thoroughly tested through controlled, peer-
reviewed biomedical studies
clinical pathways - CORRECT ANSWER - standardized multidisciplinary
plans for a specific diagnosis or procedure that identify specific aspects of care
to be performed during a designated length of stay
A patient has myocardial infarction, the ______ defines the best practices for
treatment. - CORRECT ANSWER - clinical pathways
clinical practice guidelines - CORRECT ANSWER - provide a step-by-step
guide to make knowledge-based decisions related to patient card
________ defines how health information is captured, transmitted, and utilized.
- CORRECT ANSWER - Health Informatics
data mining - CORRECT ANSWER - extracting and analyzing large volumes
of data to identify relationships and/or patterns to predict behaviors
dashboard - CORRECT ANSWER - aggregated reports of process measures to
help leader follow progress to assist with strategic planning
clinical information system - CORRECT ANSWER - collects and stores
medical, nursing, clinical ancillary areas, and therapy department information
related to patient care
,The in this information system is patient identifiable and protected by HIPAA.
The data in this information system is used to diagnose, make treatment
decisions, monitor conditions, and manage overall care. - CORRECT
ANSWER - clinical information systems
clinical decision support (CDS) - CORRECT ANSWER - provides clinicians,
staff, patients or other individuals with knowledge and person-specific
information, intelligently filtered or presented at appropriate times, to enhance
health and health care.
Examples of this include computerized alerts, clinical guidelines, condition-
specific order sets, and focused patient data reports - CORRECT ANSWER -
CDS
The Five Rights of CDS - CORRECT ANSWER - Right information, right
people, right channels, right intervention formats, right points in workflow
document management system (DMS) - CORRECT ANSWER - electronic
method of capturing and managing documents
This system is used primarily by HIM departments and can be a standalone
system or part of the EHR - CORRECT ANSWER - document management
system (DMS)
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) - CORRECT ANSWER - Technology
that can translate a scanned document image into text that can be edited and
formatted.
Scanner, target sheets, storage area networks (SAN), cloud computing, and
back-scanning are all components of a ________. - CORRECT ANSWER -
DMS
, scanner - CORRECT ANSWER - A device that converts printed documents
into digital file formats.
target sheets - CORRECT ANSWER - Pages that contain only a barcode that
tell the scanner and the computer the content of the pages that follow
storage area networks (SAN) - CORRECT ANSWER - retrieves health data
acquired by the an organization from any storage location
Cloud Computing - CORRECT ANSWER - A system in which all computer
programs and data is stored on a central server owned by a company and
accessed virtually
back-scanning - CORRECT ANSWER - The process of scanning past health
records into the DMS so there is an existing database of patient information,
making the DMS valuable to the user from the first day of implementation
eHealth Exchange - CORRECT ANSWER - broadly defined as the set of
standards, specifications, and policies that enable the secure exchange of health
information over the internet
Technical, syntactic, semantic, and process are four types of ________. -
CORRECT ANSWER - interoperability
Technical interoperability - CORRECT ANSWER - Based on the hardware
and equipment connectivity used in the exchange, this type of interoperability
allows any computer or device to exchange data with another computer or
device without corrupting the data or creating errors
Syntactic interoperability - CORRECT ANSWER - Format standards identify
how the data should be formatted or structured to allow the exchange. Interface
software must be employed for compatibility to enable the exchange
