Presentation of oncologists and their biographies
Online support group of patients with the same condition
Summary of alternative treatments and their success rates
Send and receive dictation and transcribed files through a HIPAA-compliant
transcription application service - ANSWER ✓ A privacy officer for a small
hospital recently discovered that radiology reports were being e-mailed by
the transcription service to the radiology department to be added to the
electronic medical record.
3. Which secure method should be used for transmitting reports?
Transmit the files through a direct interface to the electronic medical record
, Set up a local area network for transmitting the files directly to the
department
Send and receive dictation and transcribed files through a HIPAA-compliant
transcription application service
Transmit files in PDF format so they cannot be edited by those attaching
them to the Electronic Health Record
Patients may leave paper copies behind in areas accessible to other patients.
- ANSWER ✓ A practice must provide patients with a clinical summary at
the conclusion of the visit to meet meaningful use standards.
4. Healthcare Management Information System
(HMIS) - ANSWER ✓ One of the six building blocks essential for health
system strengthening. Is a data collection system specifically designed to
support planning, management, and decision making in health facilities and
organizations.
5. Protected Health Information (PHI) - ANSWER ✓ The HIPAA Privacy Rule

time, the Privacy Rule is balanced so that it permits the disclosure of
personal health information needed for patient care and other
important purposes.
6. Health Information Portability and Protection Act
(HIPAA) - ANSWER ✓ Enacted on August 21, 1996, by the U.S. Congress
to accelerate the development of data standards to improve the privacy,
confidentiality, integrity, and security aspects of personal health information
and to simplify the movement of individual patients' protected health

covered entities that require the information,
such as insurance companies
7. Health Level 7 (HL7) - ANSWER ✓ Accredited by ANSI, is a system
development organization whose aim is to promote interoperability for the
interchange
of healthcare data. "Level Seven" refers to the
, highest level of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
communications model for open-systems interconnection (OSI)—the
application level.12 Built on existing production protocols, predominantly
those of ASTM Standard 1238. It operates as a nonprofit
volunteer-, vendor-, and provider-supported
organization to encourage information scientists and various experts in the
healthcare field to endeavor toward the development of standards for the
management, processing, integration, and
exchange of electronic healthcare information.
8. American National Standards Institute (ANSI) - ANSWER ✓ Oversees the
creation, promulgation and use of thousands of norms and guidelines
that directly impact businesses in nearly every sector: from acoustical
devices to construction equipment, from dairy and livestock production to
energy distribution, and many more. Also actively engaged in accreditation -
assessing the competence of organizations determining conformance to
standards.
9. Health Information Exchange (HIE) - ANSWER ✓ allows doctors, nurses,
pharmacists, other health care providers and patients to appropriately access
and securely share a patient's vital medical information electronically—
improving the speed, quality, safety and cost of patient care
10.Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine
(DICOM) - ANSWER ✓ The standard for the communication and
management of medical imaging information
and related data.
11.World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) - ANSWER ✓ international
community that develops open
standards to ensure the long-term growth of the Web.
12.Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health
(HITECH) - ANSWER ✓ part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment

motivate the implementation of electronic health records (EHR) and
supporting technology in the United States. Clinical Decision Support
Systems (CDSS) `Computer tools
, 13.Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) - ANSWER ✓ A computer
application that allows a physician's orders for diagnostic and treatment
services (such as medications, laboratory, and other tests) to be entered

nurse has not heard a report from the operating room 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?
15.A: laboratory information system, computerized provider order entry,
picture archiving communication system, electronic medication
administration record - ANSWER ✓ Computerized Provider Order Entry
16.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?
17.A: open source software, local area network, interoperability protocols,
clinical workflow analysis - ANSWER ✓ Interoperability Protocols
18.HMIS components - ANSWER ✓ Data/information/knowledge component.
