LSUS MHA 705 1/2 Power Points: Module 3 latest actual questions with accurate expert solutions + rationales ( LATEST RELEASE )

Healthcare organizations integrate a variety of _______________________________________.

clinical and administrative information systems

Clinical and administrative information systems _____________________________________.

collect, process, and distribute patient-centered data to aid in managing and providing care

__________________ identify resources, patterns, and variances in care to prevent costly complications related to chronic conditions and enhance the overall outcomes for patients.

Case Management Information Systems (CMISs)

Once a trend is identified, CMISs provide _______________________________________.

decision support, promoting preventive care

A ______________ is a set of care guidelines that outline the course of treatment and the recommended interventions that should be implemented to achieve optimal results.

care plan

Interdisciplinary care plans are becoming _________________________.

more commonplace

CMISs are especially beneficial for patient populations with _______________________________________________________________________________.

a high cost of care and complex health needs—the elderly or patients with chronic disease conditions

CMISs assimilate massive amounts of information obtained over a patient's lifetime by ____________________________________.

reaching far beyond the walls of the hospital and track care from one medical visit to the next

Information collected by CMISs is processed in a way that helps to __________________________________________________.

reduce risks, ensure quality, and decrease costs

a. Increased use of social media and wireless communications

b. Use of IT to support care transitions and prevent readmissions

c. Expanded use of patient engagement technologies

d. Text messaging, email, portals, smartphone apps

e. Integration of case management software into the EHR

IT trends in Case Management

Promote the interaction between healthcare providers and patients

and have historically been separate from other types of health information systems and from one another.

Communication Systems

Examples of communication systems include ____________________________________.

call light systems, wireless phones, pagers, email, and instant messaging; these have traditionally been forms of communication targeted at clinicians

Integrating communication systems with clinical applications provides a ___________________________________________________________.

real-time approach that will facilitate care among the entire healthcare team, patients, and their families

Enhance administrative tasks within healthcare organizations and provide the framework for reimbursement, support of best practices, quality control, and resource allocation.

Core Business Systems

a. Admission, discharge, and transfer (ADT)

b. Financial

c. Acuity systems

d. Scheduling systems

Four Common Core Business Systems

Contains the groundwork for the other types of healthcare information systems since it includes the patient’s name, medical record number, visit or account number, and demographic information such as age, sex, home address, and contact information. Becomes the central source for collecting this type of patient information and communicating it to the other types of healthcare information systems including clinical and business.

Admission, Discharge, and Transfer (ADT) System

Manage the expenses and revenue for providing health care; often interface to share information with materials management, staffing, and billing systems to balance the financial impact of these resources within an organization

Financial Systems

Financial systems ____________________________________________________________________________.

report the fiscal outcomes in order to track them against the organizational goals of an institution; one of the major decision-making factors as healthcare institutions prepare their fiscal budgets; often play a pivotal role in determining the strategic direction for an organization

Calculates the nursing care requirements for individual patients based on

severity of illness; specialized equipment and technology needed; intensity of nursing interventions; helps to determine the amount of daily nursing care needed for each patient in a nursing unit.

Acuity System

Coordinate staff, services, equipment, and allocation of patient beds;

help to track resources within a facility while managing the frequency and distribution of those resources.

Scheduling Systems

One of the most important systems in use today; automate the way that orders have traditionally been initiated for patients; provide major safeguards by ensuring that physician orders are legible and complete thereby providing a level of patient safety that was historically missing with paper-based orders; most specialty disciplines within health care have an associated patient care information system; these patient-centered systems focus on collecting data and disseminating information related to direct care.

Order Entry Systems

Most specialty disciplines within health care have an associated patient care information system; these patient-centered systems focus on collecting data and disseminating information related to direct care.

Patient Care Support Systems

Clinical documentation systems (also known as clinical information systems [CISs]) are the ____________________________________.

most commonly used type of patient care support system within healthcare organizations

CISs are designed to ________________________.

collect patient data in real time

Have become a mainstream patient care support system; typically allow pharmacists to order, manage, and dispense medications for a facility

Pharmacy Information Systems

Report on blood, body fluid, and tissue samples along with biological specimens that are collected at the bedside and received in a central laboratory.

Laboratory Support Systems

Laboratory information systems were perhaps some of the _________________________________________.

first systems ever used in health care

Schedule, result, and store information as it relates to diagnostic radiology procedures.

Radiology Information Systems (RISs)

The benefits of RISs and picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) are________________________________________________.

their ability to assist in diagnosing and storing vital patient care support data

Many organizations are aggregating data in a data warehouse for the purpose ____________________________________________________.

of mining the data to discover new relationships and to build organizational knowledge

A single comprehensive database facilitates _______________________________________.

communications among and helps to maintain compliance with privacy regulations

An extremely large database or repository that stores all of an organization’s or institution’s data and makes this data available for data mining; the combination of an institution’s many different databases that provides management personnel with flexible access to the data.

Data Warehouse

Collection of data focusing on a specific topic or organizational unit or department created to facilitate management personnel making strategic business decisions; may be as small as one database or larger, such as a compilation of databases; generally smaller than a data warehouse.

Data Mart

Software that sorts through data in order to discover patterns and ascertain or establish relationships; software that helps discover or uncover previously unidentified relationships among the data in a database; a program that conducts exploratory analysis looking for hidden patterns in data.

Data Mining

The product of collaboration, when sharing an understanding of information promotes learning from past experiences to make better decisions in the future.

Knowledge Exchange

At an administrative level, collaboration among key stakeholders is_________________________________________.

critical to the success of any project

From collaboration comes the exchange of information and ideas through ____________________________.

knowledge sharing
