Unless the subject matter is considered common knowledge, citations are necessary when writing about: - Answer- Ideas, methodologies, or data from other authors and also your own previously published ideas, methodologies, or data.
An idea is most likely to represent "common knowledge" if: - Answer- It can be safely assumed that the readers and the author are both thoroughly familiar with the idea and its source.
The primary way to determine whether an idea constitutes "common knowledge" is: - Answer- Whether there is an expectation that the readers and the author would be very familiar with the material.
When authors summarize the work of others, they typically should: - Answer- Provide a condensed (shorter) version of the original material.
Organizations covered by the federal HIPAA privacy law are expected to: - Answer- Protect the health information under their control, train their workers in how to protect information, and help patients exercise their rights under the law.
With respect to permissions for uses and disclosures, HIPAA divides health information into three categories. Into which category do discussions with family members go? - Answer- Uses or disclosures that generally require oral agreement only.
Under the federal HIPAA regulations, state health privacy laws: - Answer- Can remain in
force if "more stringent" than HIPAA, complementing HIPAA's foundation of protections, provided there is no direct conflict in requirements.
With respect to permissions for uses and disclosures, HIPAA divides health information into three categories. Into which category does information related to "treatment, payment and health care operations" go? - Answer- Uses or disclosures that can generally occur without any specific permission from the patient.
HIPAA allows healthcare organizations to control many information decisions. However,
where the patient retains control, which of the following is true? - Answer- If a person has a right to make a healthcare decision, then generally that person has a right to control information associated with the decision.
For health information privacy and security, are the legal and regulatory requirements for students different from those for regular members of the healthcare workforce? - Answer- No, students must meet the same standards as a regular member of the workforce performing the same tasks.
In regard to reporting privacy or security problems, are the requirements for students the same as for regular workers? - Answer- Yes. Like any other member of the workforce, students are obligated to report problems they are not in a position to correct.
How are the ethical standards for student uses and disclosures of patients' health information different from those for regular members of the healthcare workforce? - Answer- Some would say it is higher, because patients do not always benefit from students' access to their data.
Use of social media tools and other new technologies to facilitate training-related communications is: - Answer- Depends on the organization's policies, so you should check with your organization's officials about what is allowed or prohibited.
Patients have to provide an additional, specific authorization for training uses and disclosures of their information. - Answer- False
Information security's goals are sometimes described by the letters "CIA." Which of the following is correct definition of C, I, or A? - Answer- A is for Availability, which refers to the ability of legitimate users to access their data when needed.
I is for Integrity, which refers to the accuracy of the data for its intended use, the security-equivalent of terms like validity and reliability. #1 and #3, not #2 C is for Confidentiality, which refers to limiting data access to appropriate persons for appropriate purposes. All of the above
Which of these is generally not a good practice with respect to oral communications (that is, talking) in organizations like healthcare facilities? - Answer- Use of full names in
public areas or on intercom/paging systems, because there is no security issue with identifying persons in public areas and using full names helps avoid misidentification.
Which of these is not generally a good practice for fax machine use? - Answer- Sensitive faxes -- inbound or outbound -- are left sitting in or around the machine.
Which of these is not generally a good practice for telephone use? - Answer- Using voicemail systems and answering machines that do not require a password or PIN for access.
