Chapter 01: An Introduction to Health Informatics
Hardy: Health Informatics: An Interprofessional Approach, 3rd Edition
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Dr. James, in studying patient safety in U.S. hospitals, found that the number of preventable
adverse events leading to serious harm fell in the approximate range of ______________ to
_____________ cases per year.
a. 4.4 million; 8.8 million
b. 440,000; 880,000
c. 1 million; 5 million
d. 40,000; 100,000
ANS: B
Dr. James found some 440,000 cases of lethal harm each year and estimated that the incidence
of serious (but not lethal) harm was 10 to 20 times that figure.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Analyze
2. Health informatics is both a ________________ as well as a(n) ________________.
a. discipline; field of study
b. profession; practice
c. field of study; art
d. profession; discipline
ANS: D
Health informatics is a discipline, or field of study, in the same sense that "medicine,"
"sociology," and "pharmacy" are fields of study. It is also a profession, practiced by thousands
of informaticians in a number of varied roles within the healthcare industry.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Remember
3. What is the main idea of the subsection titled "Why Informatics Is Needed in Healthcare: An
Example"?
a. An interoperable healthcare system that provides clear, concise patient data and
information among institutions is lacking in many facilities, and its presence would
greatly facilitate things such as patient transfers.
b. The quality of discharge communication during transfers of geriatric patients from
hospital to nursing home is generally high.
c. Skilled nursing facilities aren't trained enough to identify the information they need
to facilitate a high-quality transition of a patient into their facility.
d. Healthcare informaticians alone are responsible for building interoperable systems
that will facilitate communication between and among healthcare facilities.
ANS: A
This subsection takes the specific case of the transfer of geriatric patients from a hospital
setting to a long-term skilled nursing facility (SNF) and uses it to illustrate the great need for
an interoperable healthcare system that allows patient data to be transferred quickly, clearly,
and concisely among facilities.

implementing software applications in IT arena.
a. TUG
b. clinical decision support system
c. HIPAA

5. Informatics allows clinicians to see real time data and allows user to ________________ for
public health approaches to care in healthcare.
a. Meaning
b. Manage
c. Materialize
d. Mapping
ANS: B
With continuing progression in the use of technology and healthcare, clinicians can predict
and improvement healthcare outcomes.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Understand
6. Health informaticians must be able to conceptual organize a variety of ______________ to
better understand data analysis.
a. Components
b. Concepts
c. Ideas
d. Algorithms
ANS: A
Informaticians utilize healthcare knowledge, visualization, and outcome prediction to access
raw information and turn it into meaningful use data.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Understand
7. Achievable competencies developed by the IOM that should be achieved by clinicians to
deliver patient-centered care include:
a. Collaboration, reduction of errors, patient centered, data collection
b. Independent, evidence-based practice, reduction of hospital readmissions, use of
informatics
c. Collaboration, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, use of informatics
d. Collaboration, individual practice, quality improvement, use of Informatics
ANS: C
