WGU C468 INFORMATION MANAGEMENT AND THE
APPLICATION OF TECHNOLOGY Question Bank
CLINICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM
-LABORATORY SYSTEM
- ORDER ENTRY SYSTEM
- MONITORING SYSTEM
information literacy
This is defined as the ability to recognize when information is needed as well as the
skills to find,evaluate, and use needed information effectively
Strategic Planning is driving by all of the following
- organization mission and values
- short term goals
- service offered
- long term goals
a person's ht,wt, code status and date of birth are all examples of
DATA
the mission
is the purpose or reason for an organization existence
Strategic Planning
is the development of a comprehensive long range plan for guiding the activities and
operations of an organization
the foundation of knowledge model
- is the basic for which knowledge is used to meet the needs of the healthcare delivery
system
- it is derived from its 3 key elements of knowledge acquisition, knowledge processing
and knowledge dissemination
Nursing informatics
the use of technology and information to help support all aspects of nursing practices
Information Life Cycle
- needs assessment phase
- system selection phase
- system implementation phase
- maintenance phase
emerging trends in healthcare
- a push for patient safety
- error reduction
- additional regulatory requirements
Project Scope
the size and details of a collaborative effort
NURSES ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IS IMPORTED TO ENSURE THE INFORMATION
IS CURRENT AND ACCESSIBLE TO HC TEAM
why is the nurses active participation in electronic patient information important
to ensure the information is current and accessible to the healthcare team
,#1 NEEDS ASSESSMENT PHASE
ORGANIZATION PERFORMS GAPS, ANALYSIS, DETERMINING THE NEEDS AND
WANTS IN A INFORMATION SYSTEM
#2 SYSTEM SELECTION PHASE
- ORGANIZATION SEEKS OUT A VENDOR COMPANY THAT OFFER THEM A
SYSTEM THAT BEST FITS THEIR NEEDS.
* RFI- INITIAL CONTACT WITH A VENDOR
* RFP- PROPOSAL REQUEST
* RFQ- REQUEST FOR PRICING QUOTE
#3 SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION PHASE
- GO LIVe PLANNING
- TRAINING OF END-USERS
- EXECUTE SYSTEM CHANGES
#4 MAINTENANCE PHASE
- PROBLEM SOLVING, DEBUGGING
- BACKUP FILES
- INSTALLING SYSTEM UPGRADES
ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS OF THE EHR
- ASSESSMENT FINDINGS
- PATIENT DEMOGRAPHICS
- VITAL SIGNS
EXAMPLE OF A ESSENTIAL COMPONENT OF THE EHR:
EVIDENCE - BASED DECISION SUPPORT
Function of EHR:
BARCODE MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION (BCMA)
CPOE (Computerized Physician Order Entry)
THE PROCESS BY WHICH THE DR OR PROVIDER ENTERS ORDERS
ELECTRONICALLY INTO THE EHR
A BENEFIT OF THE EHR IS THAT IT CAN PROVIDE PATIENT SUPPORT, GIVE A
EXAMPLE OF PT SUPPORT
EDUCATION MATERIAL SUCH AS FOR REDUCING SODIUM INTAKE
BENEFITS TO USING THE EHR
Reduces medication errors, improves provider documentation
HEALTH INFORMATION SYSTEM
- ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION SYSTEM
- CLINICAL INFO SYSTEM
PRIMARY FUNCTIONALITY IN CONTRAST TO THAT OF A HEALTH INFORMATION
SYSTEM
TO PROMOTE PATIENT SAFETY
AN EXAMPLE OF A BARRIER TO PATIENT CENTERED CARE
WAITING UNTIL THE END OF THE SHIFT TO DOCUMENT YOUR PATIENT
ASSESSMENTS INTO THE EHR
CLINICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM
, - LABORATORY SYSTEM
- PHARMACY SYSTEM
- CLINICAL DOCUMENTATION SYSTEM
ADMINISTRATIVE INFO SYSTEM
- REGISTRATION SYSTEM
- FINANCIAL SYSTEM
- SCHEDULING SYSTEM
CONNECTION NEEDED TO ACCESS THE EHR WHEN AN INTERNET
CONNECTION IS LOST
LOCAL AREA NETWORK ACCESS(LAN)
potential challenges can occur when implementing an EHR THROUGHOUT A
MEDICAL CENTER WITH VARIOUS OUTPATIENT CLINICS
standardization of data /diff data needs for each outpatient clinic
how does the EHR help patients receive quality care when going from one facility
to another
It allows healthcare professionals to see what the patient has been receiving therapy
providing the appropriate treatment
What patient info would a nurse retrieve from the EHR
- Immunization history
- CT scan results
- Patients date of birth
THE EHR
IS A LONGITUDINAL ELECTRONIC PATIENT RECORD OF ALL HEALTHCARE
ENCOUNTERS
WHICH 2 ITEMS COULD THE RN USE TO ACCESS A PATIENT'S MEDICATIONS
FROM A MED ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM SUCH A PYXIS
- BARCODE ID/EMPLOYEE BADGE
- BIOMETRICS SUCH AS A FINGERPRINT
THIS ACRONYM IS USED TO REFER A STANDARD OF INTEROPERABILITY AND
THE EXCHANGE OF CLINICAL DATA?
HL7 ( HEALTH LEVEL 7)
CLINICAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS ARE EFFECTIVE FOR ALL THE FOLLOWING
REASON?
- THE INFO RETRIEVED CAN BE TO FOSTER RESEARCH
- IMPROVES NURSING DOCUMENTATION COMPLIANCE
- IT CAN IMPROVE CLINICIAN WORKFLOW
ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION SYSTEM
- SCHEDULING SYSTEM
- FINANCIAL SYSTEM
- ADMISSION, DISCHARGE AND TRANSFER (ADT) SYSTEM
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT THAT DEPARTMENTS COLLABORATE WITH ONE
ANOTHER WHEN SELECTING A HEALTH INFORMATION SYSTEM?
COLLABORATION LEADS TO KNOWLEDGE SHARING
