security and safety training for users and employees.
technical safeguards - Answer-covers automated processes, such as the encryption
and decryption of data.
Flow sheet - Answer-used to record a patient's vital signs over time, which would
include temperature values.
concurrent coding - Answer-allows coders to see documentation while the patient is still
receiving treatment so coding can occur on an ongoing basis. Allows a coder to query a
provider during patients stay
care plan - Answer-clinical document detailing the type of treatment that will be provided
to a patient.
structured data - Answer-Data already stored in a specific fashion in a database.
pharmacy information system (PIS) - Answer-System that assists care providers in
ordering, allocating, and administering medication; focuses on patient safety issues,
especially medication errors and providing optimal patient care
charge entry - Answer-The act of entering ICD-10-CM, CPT, or HCPCS codes into a
computerized billing system for services provided during a patient visit or procedure. In
the EHR, this process occurs automatically
advanced directive (living will) - Answer-legal document that contains information about
the patients treatment choices when they are unable to make healthcare decisions
aging report - Answer-report that identifies past due patient or insurance account
balances and is usually run monthly
assignment of benefits - Answer-a patient authorization to allow health insurance
