NR599 Final Exam: Questions With Complete Answers
Smart documentation forms Right Ans - forms that are tailored based on
patient data to emphasize data elements pertinent to the patient's conditions
and healthcare needs.
Order sets, care plans and protocols Right Ans - Structured approaches to
encourage correct and efficient ordering, promote evidence-based best
practices, and provide different management recommendations for different
patient situations.
Parameter guideline Right Ans - algorithms to promote correct entry of
orders and documentation.
Critiques and "immediate warnings" Right Ans - Alerts that are presented
just after a user has entered an order, a prescription or a documentation item,
to show a potential hazard or a recommendation for further information.
Relevant data summaries Right Ans - A single-patient view that
summarizes, organizes and filters a patient's information to highlight
important management issues.
Multiple monitors Right Ans - a display of activity among all patients on a
care unit, which helps providers prioritize tasks and ensures that important
activities are not omitted while providers are multitasking among patients.
Predictive and retrospective analytics: Right Ans - Analytic methods that
combine multiple factors using statistical and artificial intelligence techniques
to provide risk predictions, stratify patients and measure progress on broad
initiatives.
"Info" buttons Right Ans - filtered reference information and knowledge
resources within fields or "buttons" where info is provided to the end user in
the context of the current data display also referred to as metadata, or "data
about data".
Expert workup and management advisers Right Ans - Diagnostic and
expert systems that track and advise a patient workup and management of the
patient based on evidence-based protocols.
, Event-triggered alerts Right Ans - Warnings triggered within the system
based on data that alert the clinical user to a new event occurring
asynchronously, such as an abnormal lab result.
Reminders Right Ans - Time-triggered events within the system reminding
the clinical user of a task needed to be based on predetermined time within
the system.
clinical transformation Right Ans - relative to workflow redesign; it is a
complete alteration of the clinical environment and should be used cautiously
to describe redesign efforts; transformation is defined as "a radical change
approach that produces a more responsive organization that is more capable
of performing in unstable and changing environments that organizations
continue to be faced with";
- this would imply that the manner in which work is carried out and the
outcomes achieved are completely different from the prior state. which is not
always true when the change involves implementing technology
- technology can be used to launch or in conjunction with a clinical
transformation initiative but the implementation of technology alone is not
considered transformational.
-
Optimization Right Ans - - when workflow analysis occurs post
implementation, it is often referred to as ________________
- it is the process of moving conditions past their current states and into more
efficient and effective methods of performing tasks.
-it is considered to be the act, process, or methodology of making something
(as a design, system or decision) as fully perfect, functional, and effective as
possible.
Process Analysis Right Ans - breaking down the work process into a
sequential series of steps that can be examined and assessed to improve
effectiveness and efficiency; explains how work takes place, gets done, or how
it can be done.
Workflow analysis Right Ans - observation and documentation of workflow
to better understand what is happening in the current environment and how
it can be altered is referred to as this process.
