WGU C427 EXAM QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED ANSWERS
UPDATED ALREADY PASSED
A patient presents to the inpatient unit following surgery. The receiving nurse has
not heard a report from the operating room (OR) nurse. The patient is
experiencing great discomfort, and the receiving nurse wishes to see the
documentation for any pain medication given by the previous nurse. The
leadership has not achieved meaningful use stage 2 yet.
Which point of care system software will improve communication?
Laboratory information system
Computerized provider order entry
Picture archiving communication system
Electronic medication administration record
Electronic medication administration record
A medical facility meaningful use objective is to develop a health IT system. The
medical facility objective is to improve patient engagement. In order to improve
patient engagement it will be necessary to communicate with patients through a
patient portal.
What will be needed for this implementation?
Local area network
Open source software
Interoperability protocols
Clinical workflow analysis
,Interoperability protocols
Leadership at a healthcare organization implements a new electronic healthcare
record system without performing appropriate workflow analysis. The staff
stopped using the system within one week and the implementation was
unsuccessful.
What is the primary issue that contributed to the implementation's failure?
Lack of a physician champion
Failure to incorporate legacy data
Failure to select an appropriate vendor
Lack of communication from management
Lack of communication from management
A healthcare organization implemented a new electronic health records system
using an in-house server. From the first week of go-live, users complained that
the system was too slow and was unusable when a lot of users were entering
data at the same time. The information technology department has determined
the issue to be an infrastructure problem.
What should have been the foreseeable cause of the system performance
problem?
The server room is too hot.
The network cable runs are too long.
The server was configured incorrectly.
The user access privileges are inadequate.
The server was configured incorrectly.
A patient is at high risk of stroke. The patient's physician is concerned about
adherence to the recommended weight loss and diet recommendations. The
physician is on an integrated hospital management information system (HMIS).
, Which documentation format will ensure accurate and timely data is presented to
the physician?
Manual logging of data in a logbook for entry into the HMIS
Data sent to the HMIS from a wearable device that tracks in real time
HMIS alerts about out-of-range readings sent to the patient via a patient portal
Record of symptoms completed by patient via a paper report and faxed to HMIS
Data sent to the HMIS from a wearable device that tracks in real time
A hospital realizes patients are expecting access to personal health records on
demand. In response, they want to build a mobile health application that would be
widely adopted and meet the needs of the majority of the patients.
Which feature of the mobile healthcare application should be the focus to meet
these goals?
Speed and accuracy
Security and ease of use
Designed for use on specific devices
Immediate use of emerging platforms
Security and ease of use
As part of an enterprise implementation of a new electronic health record, a
healthcare organization decides to migrate 10 years of legacy data from the
previous system into a cloud.
What are two benefits to this organization by doing this?
Choose 2 answers
Decreased data storage costs
Quicker learning curve among clinical staff
