One of the barriers in finding and using big data in informatics-driven healthcare is a
lack of nursing visibility. - ANS-TRUE
Rationale: Nurses and nurse informaticists are needed to communicate clinician needs
to data scientists. Nurse informaticists are underrepresented in big data positions, yet it
is vital for nurses to be in this field to advance nursing knowledge and practice using big
data.
Several barriers to progress exist in the use of healthcare informatics, data sharing, and
healthcare information exchange.
What is an example of a barrier that is associated with health care clinicians' experience
with health IT? - ANS-Health IT system design and usability
Rationale: When the design of the system is not aligned with the clinician's real-world
workflows, the usability of the system diminishes, and this negatively affects the
clinician's productivity.
Consumer health informatics is considered a subspecialty area of healthcare
informatics. It involves insight into consumer preferences and healthcare data
information that allows consumers to actively plan, track, and participate in their
healthcare strategies while also communicating with their healthcare providers for
guidance and monitoring.
What are three barriers to using this subspecialty type of healthcare informatics? -
ANS-Privacy issues, cognitive disabilities, low health literacy
Rationale: Many consumers remain wary of privacy issues around their personal health
records. Individuals over the age of 65 may find the use of technology. Individuals with
low health literacy may be intimidated by unfamiliar terminology and prefer interacting
directly with their clinicians.
why is accurate patient identification data named as a priority by AHIMA? - ANS-Errors
in patient identification data pose a high risk to patient safety. Correct patient medical
history needs to be accurately matched to the right patient for both short-term and
long-term public health responses to widespread diseases. Large-scale immunization
programs depend on accurate patient information to identify who has had the disease,
who has been vaccinated, and what their outcomes are.
The 21st Century Cures Act asserts that putting patients in charge of their health
records is a key piece of patient control in healthcare; therefore, barriers to their health
, information must be addressed through the use of advanced information technology
measures. - ANS-TRUE
Rationale: The 21st Century Cures Act recognizes that patients need more power in
their healthcare, and access to information is key to making that happen.
When considering the lack of appropriate infrastructure as a factor contributing to
challenges in finding and using big data in healthcare, why is a governance structure
necessary? - ANS-A governance structure creates the balance between privacy and
access while complying with state, national, and international ethical and legal
requirements.
Rationale: A governance structure maintains oversight on privacy, access, and
regulatory requirements of data management and analytics.
What are the five common applications of consumer health informatics? - ANS-Personal
Health Records, Telehealth, Mobile Health, Games for Health, and Health 2.0.
Why is it necessary to ensure data integrity in healthcare? - ANS-Healthcare data and
information is attractive to cybercriminals for the value it provides. Consumer health
informatics applications store health information data in a variety of ways that may be
accessible to cybertheft.
What is an example of a common data integrity issue that occurs as a result of cloning,
or copying, when documenting in the electronic medical record (EMR)? -
ANS-Documentation of vital signs that do not vary
Rationale: Vital signs change and do not remain stagnant. Vital signs that do not change
indicate that they are being copied or cloned.
Health literacy is the state of an individual's ability to read and understand basic
medical terminology and comprehend healthcare instructions given by healthcare
professionals. - ANS-FALSE
Rationale: Health literacy is more than just the ability to read and understand basic
medical terminology and instructions. It is also the capacity of an individual to express
their needs and preferences and to respond to the need for information about services
provided for them.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Healthy People initiative creates
10-year national objectives to help health professionals and others committed to
improving health and well-being address public health priorities. For Healthy People
2030, six objectives are related to health literacy.
