Which events must occur in order to maintain patient identity data integrity?
a. The data must be accurately queried
b. The data must be accurately analyzed
c. The data must be accurately normalized
d. The data must be accurately coded - ANSWER-
A coding supervisor wants to use a fixed percentage random sample of work
output to determine coding quality for each coder. Given the work output for each
of the four coders shown here, how many total records will be needed for the
audit if a 5 percent random sample is used?
CODER A work output=500
CODER B work output=480
CODER C work output=300
CODER D work output=360
a. 82
b. 156
c. 820
d. 1,550 - ANSWER- a. 82
The calculation is: (500 × 0.05) + (480 × 0.05) + (300 × 0. 05) + (360 × 0.05) = 82
records (Shaw and Carter 2019, 72).
The hospital-acquired infection rate for our hospital is 0.2%, whereas the rate at a
similar hospital across town is 0.3%. This is an example of a:
a. Benchmark
b. Check sheet
c. Data abstract
d. Run chart - ANSWER- Correct Answer: A
, A benchmark is a systematic comparison of one organization's measurement

compares its current performance to its own internal historical data, or uses data
from similar external organizations, it helps establish an organization benchmark
(Carter and Palmer 2016, 508).
This type of chart plots all data points as a cell for two given variables of interest
and, depending on frequency of observations in each cell, provides color to
visualize high or low frequency.
a. Barplot
b. Scatter plot
c. Boxplot
d. Heatmap - ANSWER- Correct Answer: D
A heat map plots all data points as a cell for two given variables or interest, and
depending on frequency of observations in each cell, provides color to visualize
high or low frequency (Marc and Sandefer 2016a, 41).
6.The following data fields comprise a database table: patient last name, patient
first name, street address, city, state, zip code, patient date of birth. Given this
information, which of the following is a true statement about maintaining the data
integrity of the database table?
a. Patient last name should be used as the primary key for the table.
b. Patient date of birth should be used as the primary key for the table.
c. None of the data fields are adequate to use as a primary key for the table.
d. Patient last and first name should be used as the primary key for the table. -
ANSWER- Correct Answer: C
A primary key must uniquely identify a record. None of the options provided will
uniquely identify a record. Multiple individuals may have the same name and birth
dates (Sayles and Kavanaugh-Burke 2018, 35).
After the types of cases to be included in a cancer registry have been determined,
what is the next step in data acquisition?
a. Case registration
b. Case definition
c. Case abstracting
d. Case finding - ANSWER- d. Case finding
A PI Team is concerned with the time it is taking for patients to get through the
registration process. To better understand the causes or reasons for the delay in
this process the PI Team would like to gather observational data. What data
