Multiple Choice
1. Dr. James, In Studying Patient Safety In U.S. Hospitals, Found That The Number Of
Preventable Adverse Events Leading To Serious Harm Fell In The Approximate Range
Of
T
o
Cases Per Year.
a. 4.4 Million; 8.8 Million
b. 440,000; 880,000
c. 1 Million; 5 Million
d. 40,000; 100,000
Ans: B
Dr. James Found Some 440,000 Cases Of Lethal Harm Each Year And Estimated That The
Incidence Of Serious (But Not Lethal) Harm Was 10 To 20 Times That Figure.
Dif: Cognitive Level: Analyze
2. Health Informatics Is Both A As Well As A(N) .
a. Discipline; Field Of Study
b. Profession; Practice
c. Field Of Study; Art
d. Profession; Discipline
Ans: D
Health Informatics Is A Discipline, Or Field Of Study, In The Same Sense That "Medicine,"
"Sociology," And "Pharmacy" Are Fields Of Study. It Is Also A Profession, Practiced By
Thousands Of Informaticians In A Number Of Varied Roles Within The Healthcare Industry.
Dif: Cognitive Level: Remember
3. What Is The Main Idea Of The Subsection Titled "Why Informatics Is Needed
In Healthcare: An Example"?
a. An Interoperable Healthcare System That Provides Clear, Concise Patient
Data And Information Among Institutions Is Lacking In Many Facilities,
And Its Presence Would Greatly Facilitate Things Such As Patient Transfers.
b. The Quality Of Discharge Communication During Transfers Of Geriatric
Patients From Hospital To Nursing Home Is Generally High.
c. Skilled Nursing Facilities Aren't Trained Enough To Identify The
Information They Need To Facilitate A High-Quality Transition Of A
Patient Into Their Facility.
d. Healthcare Informaticians Alone Are Responsible For Building Interoperable
Systems That Will Facilitate Communication Between And Among
Healthcare Facilities.
Ans: A
This Subsection Takes The Specific Case Of The Transfer Of Geriatric Patients From A
Hospital Setting To A Long-Term Skilled Nursing Facility (Snf) And Uses It To Illustrate
The Great Need For An Interoperable Healthcare System That Allows Patient Data To Be
