EXAMINATION 2026 QUESTIONS
WITH ANSWERS GRADED A+
◍ What is an Electronic Health Record (EHR)?.
Answer: A record that resides in a system designed to support users by
providing accessibility to complete and accurate data, alerts, reminders,
clinical decision support systems, and links to medical knowledge.
◍ (T/F) Some researchers note that data cleansing can consume 80 percent of
the time of data mining.
Answer: False
◍ What was the goal for EHR adoption identified by President George
W. Bush?.
Answer: For all Americans to have an EHR by 2014.
◍ What act solidified incentives for meaningful use of EHR technology?.
Answer: The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical
Health (HITECH) Act of 2009.
◍ What is the HIPPA violation within the use of Data Mining?.
Answer: Institutions that are covered entities under HIPAA and that conduct
federally funded research must comply with the regulations of both HIPAA
and the Common Rule. The regulations of HIPAA articulate with the
Common Rule
◍ What is the primary purpose of EHR technology?.
Answer: To capture clinical data from multiple sources for use at the point
of care and to exchange such data across the continuum of care for care
coordination.
,◍ What does 'alert fatigue' refer to in EHR systems?.
Answer: A condition where users become desensitized to alerts due to
excessive notifications, potentially leading to missed critical alerts.
◍ What is Data Mining?.
Answer: Process of finding correlations or patterns among the data
◍ Exploratory Data Analysis(EDA) through "Knowledge Discovery"(KDD)?.
Answer: - Sometimes known as model building or pattern identification-
Pattern discovery is a complex phase of data mining.- Yields a highly
predictive, consistent pattern identifying model
◍ Data mining through "Knowledge Discovery"(KDD)?.
Answer: - Term "knowledge discovery" is key- Data mining looks at the
data from different vantage points, aspects, and perspectives- Brings new
insights to the data set
◍ What is Big Data?.
Answer: Big data refers to collections of data that have become so large that
traditional means of analysis or processing are ineffective, inefficient, and
insufficient. Big data involves numerous difficult challenges, including
collection, storage, analysis, mining, transfer, distribution, and results
presentation.
◍ How is Big Data applied to Healthcare and Informatics?.
Answer: Healthcare researchers are positioned to use data mining
technologies to transform the repositories of big data into comprehensible
knowledge that is useful for guiding their practice and facilitating
interdisciplinary research.
◍ What is the role of a Chief Medical Informatics Officer (CMIO)?.
Answer: To oversee the implementation and management of health
information technology and EHR systems within a healthcare organization.
◍ What is an Application Service Provider (ASP) in the context of EHRs?.
Answer: A third-party entity that provides software applications and services
over the internet.
, ◍ What is the significance of the term 'interoperability' in EHR systems?.
Answer: The ability of different EHR systems to communicate and
exchange data effectively.
◍ What are the Data Mining Models/Methods?.
Answer: CRISP-DM, Six Sigma, SEMMA
◍ Name the Data Mining Concepts:.
Answer: BaggingBoostingData reductionEDAFeature selectionMachine
learningMeta-learningPredictiveStacking
◍ What is the four phase process of Data Mining focus?.
Answer: 1. Problem identification2. Exploration of the data3. Pattern
discovery4. Knowledge deployment—application to new data to forecast or
generate predictions
◍ What does 'clinical decision support (CDS)' mean?.
Answer: A system that provides healthcare professionals with knowledge
and patient-specific information to enhance decision-making.
◍ What is a 'continuity of care document (CCD)'?.
Answer: A document that summarizes a patient's health information and
care history to facilitate continuity of care.
◍ What is 'data stewardship' in the context of EHRs?.
Answer: The management and oversight of data assets to ensure data
quality, integrity, and security.
◍ What does 'e-prescribing (e-Rx)' enable healthcare providers to do?.
Answer: To electronically send prescriptions to pharmacies, improving
efficiency and reducing errors.
◍ What is the purpose of a 'patient portal'?.
Answer: To provide patients with online access to their health information
and facilitate communication with healthcare providers.
◍ What is 'protected health information (PHI)'?.
Answer: Any individually identifiable health information that is protected
