Week 4: Midterm Exam STUDY GUIDE
Midterm Study Guide
To prepare for the exam, be familiar with the following topics/concepts from the required
readings and lessons:
1. Alarm fatigue
Alarm fatigue- multiple false alarms by smart technology that cause workers to ignore or
respond slowly to them. (Y pg. 556)
2. Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDS)-
Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDS)/Clinical decision support system (CDSS)- A
computer-based program designed to assist clinical in making clinical decision by filtering
or integrating vast amounts of information and providing suggestions for clinical
intervention. (Y pg. 559)
3. Cognitive science
Cognitive science- Interdisciplinary field that studies the mind, intelligence, and behavior
from an information processing perspective. (Y pg. 560)
4. Computer science
Computer science – Branch of engineering (application of science) that studies the
theoretical foundations of information and computation and their implementation and
application in computer systems. The study of storage/memory. Conversion and
transformation and transfer or transmission of information in machines that is computers
through both algorithms are detailed, unambiguous action sequences in the design,
efficiency, and application of computer systems, whereas practical implementation
problems deal with the software and hardware.
5. Digital natives
To educate Digital Natives or the Generation Y Group, the format this group would be
receptive to would be: Video games
6. Electronic Medical Records (EMRs)/Electronic health records (EHRs) – Computer-based
data warehouse or repositories of information regarding the health status of a client, which
are replacing the former paper-based medical records; they are the systematic
documentation of a client’s health status and health care in a secured digital format,
meaning that they can be process, stored, transmitted, and accessed by authorized

, interdisciplinary professionals for the purpose of supporting efficient, high-quality health
care across the client’s healthcare continuum. (Y pg 654)
These data can be distributed among many caregivers in a standardized format, allowing
them to compare and uniformly evaluate patient progress easily.
An electronic record of patient health information containing care received in
all health facilities. This defines: Electronic Health Record
Online communication among healthcare teams is called: Electronic
communication and connectivity
To ensure the implementation of an Electronic Health Record, it is important
for the Nurse Informatics Specialist to incorporate which level of nursing in
the implementation process: Registered Nurses
To incorporate a nationwide E H R the underlying infrastructure will require
which of the following changes: Workflow changes in both the clinical area
and physicians office.
To become a successful owner of an E H R in the healthcare organization it
requires: the facilities long term vision
The first step in implementing an E H R into an organization is the vendor
selection process. What other factor is included in this first step document
deserved functions of an E H R
To implement an E H R, requires a stretch in the organizations skills and
capacity for change but which other factor must be overcome as well Human
flexibility factor
The universal denominator of the eight essential components of an
electronic health record as defined by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) is:
Patient safety
7. General principles of Nursing Informatics
8. Health Information Technology
Health Information Technology (HIT) – Hardware, software, integrated technologies or
related licenses, intellectual property, upgrades, or packaged solutions old as services that
are designed for or support the use by healthcare entities or patients for the electronic
creation, maintenance, access or exchange of health information. (Y pg. 567)
* To evaluate health information, which of the following is important to address when
determining of the information found is accurate: Is the information based on research?
9. Health literacy
Health literacy – The acquisition of knowledge that promotes the ability to understand and
to manage one’s health. (Y pg. 567)
Intellectual framework for finding, understanding, evaluating, and using information
activities that may be accomplished in part through fluency with information technology
