D220 INFORMATICS OA STUDY GUIDE
WITH VERIFIED SOLUTIONS | LATEST
2025-2026 | GUARANTEED PASS
Admission-Transfer-Discharge System (ADT) - Correct Answer✔✔-
Classified under the hospitals' administrative info system. It's one of
the foundational systems that allows operational activities such as bed
placement, transportation coordination, room readiness, and the
general coordination of services focused on the patient's phase of
movement. Tracks a patient's activities and location from admission
to discharge
American Recover and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) - Correct
Answer✔✔-Authorized INCENTIVE PAYMENTS to specific types
of hospitals and healthcare professionals for adopting and using
interoperable Health Information Technology and EHR's. ARRA
provides economic stimuli and incentives for the adoption of EHRs.
Analytical Science - Correct Answer✔✔-Uses a variety of methods
and instruments to answer 2 basic questions: What do I have? How
much of it do I have? Environment, pharmacy, safety & security,
fraud detection, and healthcare diagnostics.
Asynchronous Applications - Correct Answer✔✔-Patient-centered
and allows consumers to participate in their own care by using
designated health technology to share health metrics and data with
their healthcare provider via technology (remote patient-monitoring -
the use of devices to capture patient data at one location and then
, 2
transmit it electronically to healthcare professionals at a different
location, allowing the review of data for clinical decision-making, i.e.
MobileHealth).
Audit Trails - Correct Answer✔✔-Software that is used for detecting
security violations, performance problems, and flaws. Records
activity by users and system. Goal is to improve data integrity. Audit
trails are only one of the ways to ensure data integrity. An audit trail
must contain the name of the user, the application triggering the audit,
the workstation, the specific document, a description of the event
being audited, and the date and time to determine the integrity of data.
Benchmark - Correct Answer✔✔-The continual process of measuring
services and practices against the toughest competitors in the
healthcare industry. Comparing the performance of an organization or
clinician to others.
Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) - Correct Answer✔✔-
Supports healthcare practitioners in making patient-care decisions by
integrating patient data with current clinical knowledge. CDSS is
technology that provides recommendations for care and must be
balanced with professional judgement, not used in place of it.
Clinical Information System - Correct Answer✔✔-Software used to
access client data, plan, implement, and evaluate care. May be
specific to certain departments (lab, radiology, pharmacy) or
particular patient populations. Provides patient centric decision-
making functionality to help guide a nurse with decision-making
while caring for a patient. Acquires patient data so that healthcare
professionals can review it and use the information to deliver care.
Consolidated Clinical Document Architecture (C-CDA) - Correct
Answer✔✔-Allows interoperability of health information exchange
between hospital systems
