HSA 3111 FINAL EXAM STUDY
GUIDE QUESTIONS WITH
DETAILED VERIFIED ANSWERS
Access to healthcare - correct answer- timely use of
personal health services to achieve the best possible health
outcomes
Accreditation - correct answer- a review process that
determines if an agency meets the defined standards of quality
determined by the accrediting body. The quality standards vary
depending on the accrediting organization, but they all share
common goals to improve efficiency, equity, and delivery of
high-quality care.
The main accrediting organizations for healthcare are as follows:
The Joint Commission
National Committee for Quality Assurance
American Medical Accreditation Program
American Accreditation Healthcare Commission
,Administrative safeguards - correct answer- demonstrate
appropriate written policies, procedures, and job descriptions,
including sanctions for violations, so staff are aware and can be
properly trained
Affordable Care Act (ACA) - correct answer- A federal law
passed in 2010, which prohibits insurers from denying coverage
to individuals with pre-existing conditions, sets minimum
standards for health insurance policies, includes an individual
mandate for individuals to have a health insurance policy, and
expands Medicaid eligibility for many individuals and families.
artificial intelligence - correct answer- a machine-based
system that can, for a given set of human-defined objectives,
make predictions, recommendations or decisions influencing
real or virtual environments
Asynchronous modality - correct answer- includes "store
and forward" technology, where messages, images, or data are
collected at one point in time and interpreted or responded to
later. Patient portals can facilitate this type of communication
between provider and patient through secure messaging
Barriers that prevent or limit access to healthcare services -
correct answer- Lack of health insurance, Limited
, availability of healthcare resources, Inconvenient or unreliable
transportation, economic, social, cultural, and geographic
barriers
Benefits of robotic surgery - correct answer- The
advantage is that robotic surgery can be performed without an
incision, and the patient can leave the hospital earlier than with
open surgery (UC Health, 2019). At the same time, the robot can
see the body in 3-D; it is more flexible and has more precision.
The result is less blood loss, fewer infections, less scarring,
shorter hospitalization, and less pain
blockchain - correct answer- a digital ledger of
transactions and is likely an important component of the next-
generation Internet - the Decentralized Web or Web 3
(Walkweltech, 2019). Simply put, blockchain is a database
technology (or digital ledger) that enables the secure storing and
sharing of information
Cloud computing - correct answer- a layered architecture
composed of the hardware, storage infrastructure, platform
composed of the software framework, and web service
applications
