INFO 320 Quiz 3
Question 1
1 out of 1 points
Application-level and enterprise-level business intelligence can be differentiated by:
Selected b.
Answer: use of an independent software solution or a component software
solution of an EHR.
Response Business intelligence (BI) is defined as the acquisition, correlation, and
Feedback:
transformation of data into actionable information using analytics.
Business intelligence information systems may be included in an
enterprise system solution, provided as component software, or acquired
as a separate application where BI software is imbedded into their
products. Application-level BI software provides some of the data
integration and visualization of enterprise packages, analyzes existing
data that might be overlooked in traditional reporting, and creates
actionable knowledge. The integration of clinical with financial data and
HR data is possible with both and is determined by the stakeholders who
need to analyze data for decision making for treatment and practice
knowledge, for performance improvement, for strategic healthcare
operations, and more. The level of statistical analysis solutions is
advanced by exporting sets of data to statistical packages to analyze for
significance. The statistical analysis solutions can be an internal or
external process.

Question 2
1 out of 1 points
How is an institution’s vision and strategic plan used as a guide in selecting a new or
upgraded healthcare information system?
Selected d.
Answer: Organization and IT department strategic planning is iterative in nature
and requires discerning future goals, directions, and multiple variables.
Response The strategic planning process is iterative and not linear. The focus for
Feedback:
information system selection must consider multiple variables and future
directions to ensure alignment with the organization’s strategic plan and
does not focus on problems or issues. Teams must review key objectives
, of the organization to ensure that the objectives of the selection are in
alignment with the institution and the IT department before selection of
potential information systems. The team identifies and selects the
systems that will most closely align with the economic, operational, and
clinical objectives of the organization. Therefore stakeholders in each of
those three areas must be heard, considered, and educated about what
systems can and cannot do to support the objectives of different
stakeholders within the organization.

Question 3

A downtime risk assessment will be developed based on:
Selected a.
Answer: root cause and degree of impact.
Response The correct way to prevent and/or manage a downtime is by determining
Feedback:
what causes (scenarios/root cause) a downtime and then performing an
assessment of its impact on the systems and to anticipate with mitigation
plans in place for each potential downtime. Developing an inventory of
systems and applications is a step that helps but will not guide the
mitigation and communication plans. Networking downtimes versus
power outage downtimes versus planned software upgrades
differentiates the types of downtimes to anticipate. It is best to identify
most common technology sources of downtimes and document potential
rather than classify all potential downtimes into categories. A systematic
approach starting with infrastructure is more likely to ensure a
comprehensive list.

Question 4
1 out of 1 points
Studying a project’s potential opportunities is part of what area of management?
Selected d.
Answer: Risk
Response Risk management deals not only with the threats a project faces, but also
Feedback:
with its opportunities. Scenarios that help or hinder a project must be
considered, and risks must be identified. Every opportunity also has its
commensurate risks and trade-offs, which are aspects of the project that
the risk manager analyzes.
Question 5

Components of formal management that align directly with the knowledge of project
management process groups, activities, and steps and that are essential to
, successful delivery include:
Selected c.
Answer: quality, safety and risk management, cost management, record
management, and teamwork processes.
Response Scope management focuses on project requirements (desired functions)
Feedback
:
and clarifies boundaries and areas to include or exclude. The scope
verification and validation process with stakeholders and key project
sponsors outlines the scope change control process. Time management
includes task complexity and resource needs, determining and monitoring
project schedule, and actual completion dates. This is closely aligned
with cost management in option B to estimate resources required for
tasks and task durations as these directly align with project costs. Project
integration includes a project charter that outlines the direction and
management of execution, monitoring, and control processes for scope,
schedule, resources, performance of change control procedures, and
project closure and release steps. Communication management includes
meetings, risk actions and assessments, project reviews, and
communication of project status to stakeholders. Procurement
management includes acquiring products or services from outside
vendors, contractors, and service groups. The other answers are partially
correct with human resource management of project managers and team
development. Quality management includes creating deliverables that
meet an acceptable quality level with quality assurance and quality
control. Risk management includes both project threats and
opportunities.

Question 6
1 out of 1 points
Which description best defines the electronic health record (EHR)?
Selected b.
Answer: An electronic record of patient health information created by encounters
across multiple settings
Response The Healthcare Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS)
Feedback:
provides a definition of the EHR as a longitudinal electronic record of
patient health information produced by encounters in one or more care
settings. Every person will have a birth to death (and even postmortem)
record of health-related information in electronic form from multiple
sources, such as physician office visits, inpatient and outpatient hospital
encounters, medications, allergies, and multiple other medical services to
support care. All other answers refer to a single facility use, which is not
the EHR but a potential component of the EHR.
