inferential statistics - CORRECT 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 - CORRECT 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.
certified health data analyst (CHDA) - CORRECT ANSWER-advanced certification covers data
management, data analytics, and data reporting

ancillary areas (such as radiology and laboratory), and therapy department information related
to patient care
document management system - CORRECT ANSWER-electronic method of capturing and
managing documents.
target sheets - CORRECT ANSWER-pages that contain only a barcode that tells the scanner and,
ultimately, the computer the content of the pages that follow
,file server - CORRECT ANSWER-large PC or other computer that is extremely powerful and has a
large amount of memory and magnetic hard drive
abstracting and quality control workstation - CORRECT ANSWER-workstation is used for
indexing and quality control
backscanning - CORRECT ANSWER-process of scanning past health records into the DMS so
there is an existing database of patient information
symbiology - CORRECT ANSWER-format; for barcodes it is Code 39, also known as Code 3 of 9
Radiology Information System (RIS) - CORRECT ANSWER-used to collect, store, and provide
information on radiological tests such as x-rays, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),
computed tomography (CT), and positron emission tomography (PET)
Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) - CORRECT ANSWER-integrated
information system that obtains, stores, retrieves, and displays digital images
Teleradiology - CORRECT ANSWER-ability to view radiology images from any location by the
radiologist and other users
Laboratory information system (LIS) - CORRECT ANSWER-collects, stores, and manages
laboratory tests and their respective results
Nursing Information System - CORRECT ANSWER-assists in the planning and monitoring of
overall patient care. Will document the nursing care provided to a patient

professional to collect and store patient assessments, progress notes, and care plans
emergency department system - CORRECT ANSWER-designed to meet the unique needs of the
emergency department, including tracking patients from triage to discharge
Anesthesia information system - CORRECT ANSWER-collects information on preoperative,
operative, and postoperative anesthesia-related clinical information. This system follows the
patient through the surgical process.
patient monitoring system - CORRECT ANSWER-automatically collects and stores patient data
from various information systems used in healthcare. Data collected include fetal monitoring,
vital signs, and oxygen saturation rates. Typically utilized in the intensive care units and other
specialty areas such as the operating and recovery rooms.
Telehealth - CORRECT ANSWER-Professional services given to a patient through an interactive
telecommunications system by a practitioner at a distant site.
telesurgery - CORRECT ANSWER-use of robotics to perform surgery
