1. Healthcare Management One of the six building blocks essential for health system strength-
Information System ening. Is a data collection system specifically designed to support
(HMIS) planning, management, and decision making in health facilities and
organizations.
2. Protected Health Informa- The HIPAA Privacy Rule provides federal
tion (PHI) protections for personal health information held by covered entities
and gives patients an array of rights with respect to that information.
At the same time, the Privacy Rule is balanced so that it permits the
disclosure of personal health information needed for patient care
and other
important purposes.
3. Health Information Porta- Enacted on August 21, 1996, by the U.S. Congress to accelerate the
bility and Protection Act development of data standards to improve the privacy, confidentiality,
(HIPAA) integrity, and security aspects of personal health information and
to simplify the movement of individual patients' protected health
information (PHI) between healthcare professionals and other
covered entities that require the information,
such as insurance companies
4. Health Level 7 (HL7) 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 Standardiza-
tion (ISO) communications model for open-systems interconnection
(OSI)—the application level.12 Built on existing production proto-
cols, 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 stan-

dards for the management, processing, integration, and
exchange of electronic healthcare information.
5. American National Stan- Oversees the creation, promulgation and use of thousands of norms
dards Institute (ANSI) and guidelines
that directly impact businesses in nearly every sector: from acoustical
devices to construction equipment, from dairy and livestock produc-
tion to energy distribution, and many more. Also actively engaged in
accreditation - assessing the competence of organizations determin-
ing conformance to standards.
6. Health Information Ex- allows doctors, nurses, pharmacists, other health care providers and
change (HIE) patients to appropriately access and securely share a patient's vital
medical information electronically—improving the speed, quality,
safety and cost of patient care
7. Digital Imaging and Com- The standard for the communication and management of medical
munications in Medicine imaging information
(DICOM) and related data.
8. World Wide Web Consor- international community that develops open
tium (W3C) standards to ensure the long-term growth of the Web.
9. Health Information Tech- part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA).
nology for Economic and Created to
Clinical Health (HITECH) motivate the implementation of electronic health records (EHR) and
supporting technology in the United States. Clinical Decision Support
Systems (CDSS) `Computer tools
10. Computerized Physician A computer application that allows a physician's orders for diagnostic
Order Entry (CPOE) and treatment services (such as medications, laboratory, and other
tests) to be entered electronically instead of being recorded on order
sheets or prescription pads.

The computer compares the order against
standards for dosing, checks for allergies or
interactions with other medications, and warns the physician about
potential problems.
11. Laboratory Information software system that records, manages, and
Systems (LIS) stores data for clinical laboratories. Traditionally been most adept at
sending
laboratory test orders to lab instruments,
tracking those orders, and then recording the
results, typically to a searchable database
12. Logical Observation Iden- a classification system used for identifying
tifiers Names and Codes laboratory results and clinical observations
(LOINC)
13. Systematized Nomencla- a coding scheme meant to integrate the data
ture of Medicine accumulated from multi-provider care processes by mapping with
(SNOMED) ICD, LOINC, and various other data classification standards
14. Medical Information Bus represents an application of networking and
(MIB) information technology for healthcare. The
purpose of MIB is to define a standard means of connectivity between
critical care bedside
medical devices and hospital host computers. The devices include
patient monitors, infusion pumps, ventilators, pulse oximeters and
other devices used in operating rooms, intensive care units and
emergency rooms.

cedure Coding System Association's Current
(HCPCS) Procedural Terminology (CPT)
