True

Computers do not represent meaning

True

Electronic health records contain both structured and unstructured data

True

Ethernet networks are faster, less expensive and more secure than wireless networks.

True

In medicine, probability can be used as a method to express uncertainty in disease diagnosis

True

Information can be thought of as meaningful and/or organized data and facts from which conclusions can be drawn.

True

Information is organized data from which conclusions can be drawn

True

REST stands for Representational State Transfer and is an architecture not a standard

True

The definition or idea of what is considered a "computer" is evolving with changes in technology

True

Translational Bioinformatics is a field of informatics which focuses on transformation of biomedical data, including genomic data, into knowledge which can be used in the clinical and public health domains.

Which network is likely to be used by a physician accessing his/her work EHR remotely?

VPN

Which of the following represents a datum?

a singular observation

False Negative

a test result indicating that a condition is not present (negative) when in fact it is present (therefore false).

False Positive

a test result that comes out positive when it should not; often caused by comtamination or failure to run a control.
