NI-BC STUDY SET QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
21st Century Cures Act 2016 - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Enacted to accelerate the use, design, and
development of new technologies needed to support care delivery (medical device and digital health
application development). Also some aspect of mental health reform by quickening drug approval.
In 2020, the Cures Act set the stage for health data interoperability and improved patient access to their
own health data by introducing new rules that advances interoperability by using application
programming interfaces (APIs), remove information blocking acts, and advance consumers access to
their own patient health data.
HITECH Act of 2009 - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Health Info Technology for Economic & Clinical Health Act
passed as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) stimulated the rapid adoption of
EHRs in the US.
Set forth the "meaningful use" program (renamed to Promoting Interoperability in 2018) to provide
incentives to move over to electronic health records.
Added provisions to HIPAA with the updated requirements being known as the Omnibus HIPAA rule.
These provisions significant expanded individual rights and increased protection and control over health
information while also increasing penalties for violation. The act also requires the Dept of HHS to
perform audits, increase penalties for noncompliance, and outlines breach notification requirements.
TIGER - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Technology Informatics Guiding Education Reform began in 2006 to
establish that all practicing nurses should be equipped with the skills necessary to practice in the
technology-driven world of healthcare.
Moved to include other areas outside one nursing in 2014 and focuses today on education reform.
Competency domains include direct patient care, administration, engineering/IS, informatics, &
research/biomedical
Competency quadrants include administrative, clinical, communication, health data, operational, and
patient
, Internet of Things (IoT) - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Refers to a network of physical devices, like appliances,
vehicles, and everyday objects, embedded with sensors and software that allows them to collect and
exchange data with each other over the internet, essentially enabling "things" to communicate and
interact without direct human intervention; creating a connected ecosystem where devices can monitor
and control various aspects of their environment
NIST - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅National Institute of Standards and Technology provides guidance on
cybersecurity frameworks for health care
CPT - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Current Procedural Terminology - medical, surgical, and diagnostic services
rendered for insurance claims
CDC- PHIN/VADs - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Center for Disease Control Public Health Information
Network/Vocabulary Access and Distribution System: Patient characteristics like gender and date of
birth

surgical, and diagnostic services rendered for insurance claims. Codes used for outpatient services and
supplies
ICD-10-CM - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision - a system

ICD-10-PCs - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision - a system
comprised of medical classifications for procedural codes
ISO-639 - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅International Organization for Standardization Standard - Language
codes
LOINC - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅logical observation identifiers names and codes. Standard for identifying
laboratory results for exchange. Used as mapping mechanism.
