three types of built-in memory

-read-only memory (ROM) -random-access memory (RAM) -built-in flash memory

The Leapfrog Group mission goals:

1. Promot use of CPOE to reduce medication errors 2. encourage consumers & healthcare purchasers to select hospitals w/ extensive experience & good outcomes for high risk surgeries. 3. promote the staffing of ICU with intensivists of doctors with special training 4. assess hospitals' progress in the national quality forum - endorsed safe practices.

strategies for achieving goals for patient-focused healthcare

1. facilitate electronic exchange of patient's health information while protecting privacy and security of information 2. make info exchange interoperable so that it is available when and where it is needed 3. promote nationwide adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) 4. establish collaborative governance to guide the health information technology (HIT) infrastructure

strategies for achieving goals for population health

1. provide for information access and use of population health while protecting privacy and security 2. make information exchange interoperable to support population-oriented uses 3.promote nationwide adoption of technologies and technical functions that will improve population and individual health 3. establish collaborative governance to support the information use for population health

Critical thinking components

1. skill sets to process and generate information 2. the intellectual commitment to use those skills to guide behavior.

5 components needed to provide evidence-based care:

1. standardization of terminologies and structures used in documentation 2. the use of digital information 3. standards to permit healthcare data 4. the ability to capture data relevant to the actual care provided 5. competency among practitioners to use this data

Benefits of informatics (PP)

Aggregated Data Improved Communication Storage and Retrieval Time & Money

password requirements

Alphanumeric 7-10 Characters Not Personally identifiable Biometric where available

Which of the following would be a concern associated with the use of mobile devices in nursing? A.Improved time management B.Increased cost of the device C.Enhanced patient safety D.Reduction in errors

B: INCREASED COST OF THE DEVICE Mobile devices can be expensive in terms of purchase and time involved in selecting and preparing the device for use. Improved time management, enhanced patient safety, and reduced errors are benefits associated with using a mobile device.

Which of the following would a nurse identify as a benefit of informatics to nursing? A.Less data to review for quality control B.More time to permit complete documentation C.Less communication needed among providers D.Easier retrieval of healthcare information

D: EASIER RETRIEVAL OF HEALTHCARE INFORMATION Benefits include easier retrieval of healthcare information, improved documentation with less time spent on documentation, more complete data that can be used for quality control and research, and improved communication among all healthcare providers.

TRUE OR FALSE? Health informatics is process oriented?

False Historically, health informatics was process oriented, but today it focuses on data and information

TRUE OR FALSE? When using a mobile device, the ROM memory is highly volatile.

False ROM does not require power to maintain the data. RAM does require power, all data not saved on flash or ROM will be lost.

True or False. Health informatics is a subspecialty under nursing informatics?

False. Health informatics is the umbrella term that encompasses all subspecialties such as nursing, pharmacy, and lab.
