WGU 220 EXAM WITH ALL CORRECT & VERIFIED
ANSWERS/ALREADY GRADED A+ (JUST RELEASED)
American Recover and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Correct answer-Authorized INCENTIVE PAYMENTS
to specific types of hospitals and healthcare professionals for adopting and using interoperable
Health Information Technology and EHR's. ARRA provides economic stimuli and incentives for the
adoption of EHRs.
Admission-Transfer-Discharge (ADT) System Correct answer-Classified under the hospitals'
administrative info system. It's one of the foundational systems that allows operational activities such
as bed placement, transportation coordination, room readiness, and the general coordination of
services focused on the patient's phase of movement. Tracks a patient's activities and location from
admission to discharge.
Analytical Science Correct answer-Uses a variety of methods and instruments to answer 2 basic
questions: What do I have? How much of it do I have? Environment, pharmacy, safety & security,
fraud detection, and healthcare diagnostics.
Asynchronous Applications Correct answer-Patient-centered and allows consumers to participate
in their own care by using designated health technology to share health metrics and data with their
healthcare provider via technology (remote patient-monitoring - the use of devices to capture
patient data at one location and then transmit it electronically to healthcare professionals at a
different location, allowing the review of data for clinical decision-making, i.e. MobileHealth).
Audit Trails Correct answer-Software that is used for detecting security violations, performance
problems, and flaws. Records activity by users and system. Goal is to improve data integrity. Audit
trails are only one of the ways to ensure data integrity. An audit trail must contain the name of the
user, the application triggering the audit, the workstation, the specific document, a description of the
event being audited, and the date and time to determine the integrity of data.
Authentication Correct answer-Action that verifies the authority of users to receive specified data.
Barcode Medication Administration Correct answer-MANDATED BY FDA
Benchmark Correct answer-The continual process of measuring services and practices against the
toughest competitors in the healthcare industry. Comparing the performance of an organization or
clinician to others.
Big Data Correct answer-Very large data sets that are beyond human capability to analyze or
manage without the aid of information technology. Big data is considered data originating from very
large data sets that help identify patterns and trends. Big data cannot be managed without the use of
technology to analyze its output.
Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) Correct answer-Supports healthcare practitioners in
making patient-care decisions by integrating patient data with current clinical knowledge. CDSS is
technology that provides recommendations for care and must be balanced with professional
judgment, not used in place of it.
Clinical Information System Correct answer-Software used to access client data, plan, implement,
and evaluate care. May be specific to certain departments: lab, radiology, pharmacy, or particular
patient populations. Provides patient centric decision-making functionality to help guide a nurse with
, decision-making while caring for a patient. Acquires patient data so that healthcare professionals can
review it and use the information to deliver care.
Computer Literacy Correct answer-Familiarity with the use of personal computers. Computer
literacy is defined as the knowledge and ability to use computers and technology efficiently.
Computer literacy allows patients to interact with the internet.
Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE) Correct answer-The prescriber's decisions to enter
orders and immediately share the orders with appropriate health professionals who execute the
orders and departments that need to dispense, schedule, or immediately deliver services to patients.
Confidentiality Correct answer-Unspoken understanding that private information shared in a
situation, in which a relationship has been established for the purpose of treatment or delivery of
services will remain protected.
Configurability Correct answer-Refers to the extent that a given software product can be adapted
or changed to meet a user's preference.
Connected Health Correct answer-Model or platform by which technology assisted healthcare is
delivered between at least two points, involving either synchronous or asynchronous exchange.
Consolidated-Clinical Document Architecture (C-CDA) Correct answer-Allows interoperability of
health information exchange between hospital systems.
Consumer Health Informatics (CHI) Correct answer-Use of electronic information and
communication to improve medical outcomes and health-care decision making from the
patient/consumer perspective. Three barriers include: Privacy issues, cognitive disabilities, low
health literacy. Five examples: Personal Health Records, Telehealth, Mobile Health, Games for Health,
and Health 2.0. Telehealth is defined as healthcare at a distance through the use of technology that
connects the patient and the clinician in real time.
Continuity of Care Record (CCD) Correct answer-Snapshot of a person's health and healthcare to a
provider who does not have access to the person's EHR.
Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) Correct answer-Primary
database used for nursing literature.
Data Correct answer-Collection of numbers, characters, or facts that are gathered according to
some perceived need for analysis.
Data Analysis Correct answer-The processing of data that identify trends and patterns of
relationships.
Data Information Knowledge Wisdom (DIKW) Framework Correct answer-Data are the most
discrete components of the DIKW framework. They are mostly presented as discrete observations
with little interpretation. Information is a continuum of progressively developing and clustered data.
Relations and interactions are not yet evident in information alone. Knowledge is information that is
processed and organized so that relations and interactions are identified. Wisdom is an appropriate
use of knowledge to manage and solve human problems. Wisdom includes ethics or knowing why
certain things or procedures should or should not be implemented in specific cases.
