3. Computer-based Patient Record Institute (CPRI)
4. Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act

Correct Answer: 3

Rationale 1: The HIPAA Security Rule did not define an EHR but established protection for all personally identifiable health information stored in electronic format

Rationale 2: the IOM report put forth a set of eight core functions that an EHR should be capable of performing

Rationale 3: CPRI was an early contributor to EHR systems, and identified three key criteria for EHR, including capturing data at the point of care, integrating data from multiple sources and providing decision support

Rationale 4: HITECH Act promotes the widespread adoption of EHR and authorizes Medicare incentive payments to doctors and hospitals using a certified EHR

Question 2

Type: MCSA

Which of the following is the best definition of electronic health records?

1. Any information that relates to the past, present, or future physical condition of a person that is stored in an electronic format.
2. The portions of a client’s medical records that are stored in a computer system as well as the functional benefits derived from having an electronic health record.
3. Client information that is stored electronically and may be accessed by both the client and the client’s healthcare providers on demand.
4. Any healthcare information that is stored by computer.

Correct Answer: 2

Rationale 1: This definition is not the broadest; the EHR is not just what is stored, but what can be done with it

Rationale 2: The IOM and CPRI suggest that the EHR is not just what is stored, but the functional benefits derived from having an electronic health record

Rationale 3: This definition is limited

Rationale 4: This definition is limited

Correct Answer: 4

Rationale 1: Fostering regional collaborations is part of the ONC goal of interconnecting clinicians

Rationale 2: Encouraging the use of PHR is part of the ONC goal of personalizing care

Rationale 3: In an effort to improve population health, one of the ONC strategies is to accelerate research and disseminate evidence

Rationale 4: As part of the goal of informing clinical practice, the ONC strategies include promoting EHR diffusion in rural and underserved areas, incentivizing EHR adoption, and reducing the risk of EHR clinicians who purchase EHR

Question 4

Type: MCSA

Why would a small primary care practice need to know about the HITECH Act?

1. Because it makes funding available to help the practice implement a certified EHR
2. Because it will reduce Medicare payments by five percent if the use of paper charts continue to be used in 2013
3. Because it offers financial incentives for implementing an EHR before 2015
4. Because it requires medical practices to offer telemedicine to clients by 2020

Correct Answer: 3

Rationale 1: Financial incentives will be offered, as well as penalties; funding is not part of the HITECH act

Rationale 2: After 2020, a provider still using paper charts will have payments reduced by 5 percent

Rationale 3: Providers that implement and have meaningful use of a certified EHR prior to 2015 are eligible for incentives

Rationale 4: Telemedicine is not part of the HITECH Act

Question 6

Type: MCSA

The nurse reviews the client registration form, and asks for more detail about the chief complaint, which is:

1. A summary of the client’s symptoms
2. A record of the client’s vital signs
3. The main reason a client seeks care
4. The nurse’s assessment of what is wrong with the client

Correct Answer: 3

Rationale 1: A summary of the client’s symptoms is the subjective portion of the clinical interaction note

Rationale 2: The client’s vital signs are objective data

Rationale 3: The chief complaint is the reason the client is seeking care

Rationale 4: The assessment is the nurse or clinician’s application of his or her training to the subjective and objective findings, and arriving at a decision of what might be the cause of the client’s condition
