ACTUAL QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED
ANSWERS.
free text data - correct answer-is the unstructured narrative
data that is the result of a person typing data into an
information system.
voice recognition technology - correct answer-a computer
captures the dictation and converts what is said directly into
text and no transcriptionist is needed.
Natural language processing - correct answer-is a technology
that converts human language (structured or runs structured)
into data that can be translated then manipulated by computer
systems.
Data Mining - correct answer-is the process of extracting and
analyzing large volumes of data from a database for the
purpose of identifying hidden and sometimes subtle relationship
or patterns using those relationships to predict behaviors.
,Document management system (DMS) - correct answer-scans
the paper record and stores it digitally.
front end speech recognition - correct answer-occurs when
physicians review and edit the document directly upon dictation
and then are able to sign it immediately.
back end speech recognition, - correct answer-the
transcriptionists become editors, making correction to the

Release of information (ROI) - correct answer-is the process of
disclosing patient-identifiable information from the health record
to another party.
Turnaround time - correct answer-is the time between receipts
of request and when the request is sent to requester,
, clinical coding - correct answer-or assigning codes to represent

Abstracting - correct answer-Can be either the process of
extracting information from a document to creat a brief
summary of a patients illness, treatment, and outcome or the
process of extracting elements of data from a source document
or database and entering them into an automated system,
encoder - correct answer-assigns the diagnosis and procedure
codes
grouper - correct answer-uses the codes assigned to determine
the diagnostic-related group or other grouping,
computer-assisted coding - correct answer-EHR data to assign
