Information System .....ANSWER..... an automated system that
uses computer hardware and software to record, manipulate,
store, recover, and disseminate data (that is, a system that
receives and processes input and provides output)
Financial applications .....ANSWER..... software applications that
handle patient accounts, budgets, and other financial activities
Mainframe computers .....ANSWER..... large computers that are
used by the government and other organizations that require
speed and the ability to process large amounts of data.
,Page 2 of 67
Dumb Terminals .....ANSWER..... all of the processing is
performed at the server or mainframe
Cloud Computing .....ANSWER..... a system that operates on a
computer that is owned and maintained by a vendor.
Intranet .....ANSWER..... a private information network that uses
Internet technologies; however, its servers are located inside a
firewall or security barrier so that the general public cannot gain
access to information housed within the network
Health Information Exchange .....ANSWER..... the exchange of
health information electronically between providers and others
with the same level of interoperability.
Evidence-based medicine .....ANSWER..... healthcare services
based on clinical methods that have been thoroughly tested
through controlled, peer-reviewed biomedical studies
,Page 3 of 67
Clinical pathways .....ANSWER..... a tool designed to coordinate
multidisciplinary care planning for specific diagnoses and
treatments
clinical practice guidelines .....ANSWER..... provide a detailed,
step-by-step guide used by healthcare practitioners to make
knowledge-based decisions related to patient care and issued
by an authoritative organization such as a medical society.
Health Informatics .....ANSWER..... scientific discipline that is
concerned with the cognitive, information-processing, and
communication tasks of healthcare practice, education, and
research, including the information science and technology to
support these tasks
Data Analytics .....ANSWER..... the science of examining raw data
with the purpose of drawing conclusions about that information
Data mining .....ANSWER..... process of extracting and analyzing
large volumes of data from a database for the purpose of
, Page 4 of 67
identifying hidden and sometimes subtle relationships or patterns
and using those relationships to predict behaviors.
dashboards .....ANSWER..... reports of process measures to help
leaders follow progress to assist with strategic planning
descriptive statistics .....ANSWER..... set of statistical techniques
used to describe data, such as means, frequency distributions,
and standard deviations; describes the characteristics of a
specific group or a population
inferential statistics .....ANSWER..... set of statistical techniques
that allows researchers to make generalizations about a
population's characteristics on the basis of a sample's
characteristics,
predictive modeling .....ANSWER..... process used to identify
patterns that can be used to predict the odds of a particular
outcome based on the observed data. Uses historical data in
order to predict what is likely to happen in the future.
