All the patients who present to the emergency department with a suspected acute myocardial
infarction (AMI) are expected to receive an EKG within 10 minutes of their arrival. Of the 56
patients who had a suspected AMI during the last quarter, 32 had an EKG within the specified
time frame. What was the rate of compliance? - ✔️✔️57.1
A rate is type of ratio where the two numbers represent different things. For example, a rate may
compare the number of patients and the number of days in a time period, or the number of
patients and the number of patients who have a certain disease. To calculate a rate, there is a
formula that is important to remember: the number of times something happened divided by the
number of times it could have happened, times 100. In this case, the calculation is × 100
= 57.1.
During the month of June, Community Hospital had 149 discharges and 47 patients had
consultations from specialty physicians. What was the consultation rate for June? - ✔️✔️31.5%
The consultation rate calculation for this scenario is (47 × 100) / 149 or 4, = 31.5%. A
consultation occurs when two or more physicians collaborate on a particular patient's diagnosis
or treatment. The attending physician requests the consultation and explains the reason for doing
so. The consultant then examines the patient and the patient's health record and makes
recommendations in a written report. The formula for calculating the consultation rate is: Total
number of patients receiving consultations for a given period / Total number of discharges and
deaths for the same period × 100.
The most important information to include in an informed consent in biomedical research is the:
- ✔️✔️Description of risk
Federal regulations require that certain information be provided to each human subject in a
research study. The subjects must be given a description of reasonably foreseeable risks or
discomforts. The description must be accurate and reasonable, and subjects must be informed of
previously reported adverse events.
In order to determine the hospital's expected MS-DRG payment, the hospital's blended rate is
multiplied by the MS-DRG's ______ to determine the dollar amount paid. - ✔️✔️relative weight
Each diagnosis-related group (DRG) is assigned a relative weight (RW). The RW is a multiplier
that determines reimbursement. For example, a DRG with a relative weight of 2.0000 would pay
twice as much as a DRG with a RW of 1.0000.
The ____ is an application within an organization's registration system that uniquely identifies
the individuals who have received services. - ✔️✔️master patient index (MPI)
The master patient index (MPI) is a key application within an organization's registration system.
It uniquely identifies the individuals who have received services from the organization. As such,
maintaining the integrity of the MPI is critical.
Which term describes the ability of one information system to exchange data with another
information system? - ✔️✔️Interoperable

information systems (ISs) that has resulted in a lack of interoperability among systems.
Interoperability refers to the capability of one IS to exchange data with another

An analyst was testing the hypothesis that there is an association between physician gender
(M/F) and the willingness to use or not use CPOE. The value of the chi-square test statistic is
7.23. If the acceptable level of type I error was set to 0.01, what is the conclusion of the
hypothesis test? - ✔️✔️Reject the null hypothesis
In testing a hypothesis using statistical inference, the decision is to reject or not reject the null
hypothesis at the present alpha level. If the test statistic value is greater than the cutoff, reject the
null hypothesis. In this scenario, the chi-square test statistic is 7.23 and is greater than the type I
error rate of 0.01 so the null hypothesis would be rejected.
A drug interaction alert would be a typical function of a _____. - ✔️✔️Decision support system
The clinical decision support may be active, which means that it has alerts or reminders the user
must address, or passive, which means the user may choose to utilize or ignore the alerts. Alerts
