INFORMATICS - CHAPTER 1 EXAM
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 100% PASS
Subcategories of informatics - ANS biomedical, clinical, nursing, consumer, public health
biomedical Informatics - ANS incorporates a core set of methodologies that are applicable for
managing data, information, and knowledge across the translational medicine continuum, from
bench to biology to clinical care and research to public health
clinical decision support - ANS software processes and algorithms that use codified
information from a patient record and aid in diagnosis and treatment
clinical informatics - ANS focused on information systems to ensure that they support patient
care that is safe, efficient, effective, timely, patient-centered, and equitable; research help to
establish standards and policy
computer-aided diagnosis - ANS incorporation of computer images with aspects of artificial
intelligence to detect and identify potential disease factors
computerized provider order entry - ANS applications that allow providers to write orders for
medications or other treatments and transmit them electronically
consolidated health informatics - ANS initiative to adopt existing health information
interoperability standards throughout all federal agencies

, consumer informatics - ANS support and inform consumers to facilitate the management and
participation in their own care
data mining - ANS involves searching, analyzing, and summarizing large data sets from
different perspectives to identify trends and other useful information
decision analysis - ANS systematic approach to decision making under conditions of
imperfect knowledge; practical application of probability theory that is used to calculate the
optimal strategy from among a series of alternative strategies
Digital Imaging Communication in Medicine (DICOM) - ANS standard that promotes a digital
image communications format and picture archive and communications systems for use with
digital images
e-Health - ANS emerging field at the intersection of medical informatics, public health, and
business, referring to health services and information delivered or enhanced through the
Internet and related technologies
Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA) - ANS law provides the legal
standard to be followed for the collection, use, and disclosure of genetic information
genomics - ANS branch of biotechnology concerned with the genetic mapping and DNA
sequencing of sets of genes or the complete genomes of selected organisms
health informatics - ANS field of information science concerned with the management of all
aspects of health data and information through the application of computers and computer
technologies
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) - ANS addresses standards for
transactions and code sets for electronic exchange of health-related information
