Dumb terminals (type of computer) - Correct Answer-all of the processing is performed at the server or mainframe personal computers (PCs) - Correct Answer-some or all of the processing is performed on the PC Many healthcare facilities began the transition to the EHR after the - Correct Answer- American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was passed. extranet - Correct Answer-uses a system of connections of private Internet networks outside an organization's firewall and uses Internet technology to enable collaborative applications to allow external users to access the IS.This system can be used by healthcare organizations to allow patients to access health information and schedule appointments and by vendors to allow healthcare facilities to monitor the status of orders. Clinical pathways - Correct Answer-are a tool designed to coordinate multidisciplinary care planning for specific diagnoses and treatments. Data analytics can be divided into three categories: - Correct Answer-descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive. Descriptive analytics - Correct Answer-addresses the past to determine what has already occurred. Predictive analytics - Correct Answer-addresses the future to predict what will likely occur Prescriptive analytics - Correct Answer-concerns what to do with what you have learned optical character recognition (OCR) - Correct Answer-OCR is defined as a method of encoding text from analog paper into bitmapped images and translating the images into a form that is computer readable.With OCR, a text can be scanned, and the content can be edited. Components of a Document Management System - Correct Answer-DMS is made of many components, including a scanner, magnetic storage, and file server. Target sheets - Correct Answer-are pages that contain only a barcode that tells the scanner and, ultimately, the computer the content of the pages that follow.
scanning workstation - Correct Answer-is the desktop computer that controls the scanner. Once a document is scanned, the workstation compresses the file created by the scanner in order to save storage space. Another step performed by the scanning workstation is to give each document scanned an individual file name. The name is used to store the image and is ultimately used when the file is retrieved. Abstracting and Quality Control Workstation - Correct Answer-Rather than scanning, this workstation is used for indexing and quality control. The healthcare facility determines the data elements to be indexed based on its needs. During the quality control process, the clerk views every image to check for the quality of the image and verifies that indexing is accurate and patient demographics are correct. File Server - Correct Answer-The file server is a large PC or other computer that is extremely powerful and has a large amount of memory and magnetic hard drive. When the user performs an inquiry on a PC to retrieve a patient's health record, the file server receives the request for the document images, retrieves the document images, and sends the document images back to the requester. When documents are scanned into the computer, the files created are stored on the file server's magnetic hard drive. Retrieval Workstation - Correct Answer-This is the workstation used by the physician, HIM staff, or other users to retrieve patient information and view document images. Annotation - Correct Answer-is the ability to add to the image in some way. Because the image may be a legal document, the image itself cannot be altered; however, an overlay to the document will show the annotation. These annotations are useful to call attention to some data on the form and to enhance viewing The recommended barcode symbiology, - Correct Answer-Code 39, also known as Code 3 of 9 picture archival communication system (PACS) - Correct Answer-A PACS is an integrated information system that obtains, stores, retrieves, and displays digital images. Nursing documentation traditionally includes: - Correct Answer-Admission assessment • Nursing activities • Intake and output • Graphic information • Activities of daily living • Nursing care plans • Nurses' notes • Medication administration record Three uses of smart cards in healthcare are - Correct Answer-emergency treatment, reducing fraud and abuse, and reducing administrative costs There are two categories of smart cards - Correct Answer-contact and contactless. The contact smart cards require a scanner through which the card is scanned in order to read it. The contactless card only has to be close to the scanner
about their consent options, who may release their information and how, and the significance of the consent choice.
fields. In the table, the data are stored in rows and columns much like a spreadsheet. The data in a database is stored in a file. A file is a collection of digital data stored in the database. In healthcare, a file contains information on patient care, patient accounts, employee files, or another subject. Within the file are multiple records Within the relational database model, each row in the database table is called - Correct Answer-record hierarchical database model - Correct Answer-A parent-child relationship is created by the relationships developed by the pointer. The relationship can be described as one-to- many. This means that a parent can have many nodes but a child can have only one parent Network Database Model - Correct Answer-uses pointers to connect data. The nodes are called owners and members rather than parent and child nodes, as in the hierarchical database model. A member node in the network database model can have more than one owner, unlike in the hierarchical database model object-oriented database model - Correct Answer-handles text, images, audio, video, and other objects. These images and other nontext items are stored as objects. An object is the basic component in an object-oriented database that includes both data and their relationships within a single structure. Each data element is called a variable. The object-oriented database uses programming tools such as Java a programming language that was designed to be used on the Internet and that runs some of the functions of Internet applications Two concepts related to the object-oriented model are - Correct Answer-encapsulation and inheritance Encapsulation - Correct Answer-is defining the characteristics of an object. For example, a laboratory test would have a name, test result, time, and date. inheritance - Correct Answer-an object can inherit properties from another object when the characteristics are similar. Multidimensional Database Model - Correct Answer-is used in data warehouses. The data are collected from multiple sources, such as other databases, and then summarized. This enables data analysis using a wide range of data. The multidimensional database is designed to quickly access this summarized data data repository - Correct Answer-is an open-structure database (not dedicated to the software of any particular vendor or data supplier) in which data from multiple ISs are stored so that an integrated, multidisciplinary (includes a variety of healthcare providers) view of the data can be achieved in a single source. The data repository is updated by the various ISs in real time, thus providing users with access to the most current

Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) - Correct Answer-is a program designed to build an automated system that can understand biomedical concepts, words, and expressions and their interrelationships, and it includes concepts and terms from many different vocabularies These two key concepts of UMLS - Correct Answer-semantics and syntax. Semantics - Correct Answer-is a "branch of linguistics dealing with the study of meaning, including the ways meaning is structured in language and how changes in meanings and form occur over time Syntax - Correct Answer-is described as "the study of patterns of formation of sentences and phrases from words and the rules for the formation of grammatical sentences in a language" MEDCIN - Correct Answer-is the most comprehensive vocabulary for signs and symptoms Mapping - Correct Answer-the process of associating concepts from one coding system with concepts from another coding system and defining their equivalence in accordance with a documented rationale and a given purpose. An example of a map is a link between the code for acne in ICD-9-CM and the code for acne in ICD-10-CM. Before the map can be created, there must be an understanding of how the data will be used, because the map must be consistent. Categories, such as the following, can be used in mapping. • One-to-one: An exact match is made between the systems • Narrow-to- broad: A more granular term in the starting system maps to a more general term in the receiving system • Broad-to-narrow: A more general term in the starting system maps to a more granular term in the receiving system • Unmappable: There is no matching into the receiving system narrow - Correct Answer-granular Broad - Correct Answer-general
