Question 1

Type: MCSA

What is the primary purpose of system integration in a health care facility?

1. Provide reliable flow of information between facility and physician offices
2. Offer seamless data exchange among disparate information systems
3. Prevent system data errors via large scale electronic exchanges
4. Customize information systems within a department

Correct Answer: 2

Rationale 1: The purpose of system integration is to ensure that disparate information systems can communicate and exchange data among the different systems. Most health care facilities have a variety of different users that need system data. Integration is defined as the process by which different information systems are able to exchange data in a fashion that is seamless to the end user. Providing a reliable flow of information between the facility and physician offices is a specialized case and does not address the overall purpose.

Rationale 2: The purpose of system integration is to ensure that disparate information systems can communicate and exchange data among the different systems. Most health care facilities have a variety of different users that need system data. Integration is defined as the process by which different information systems are able to exchange data in a fashion that is seamless to the end user. Customizing information systems within a department is a specialized case and does not address the overall purpose.

Question 2

Type: MCSA

The timely flow of information is critical to institutional survival. Which of the following statements about interfaces is accurate?

1. Interfaces use an open systems technology provided by the vendor.
2. Interfaces require installation of a Health Level Seven (HL7) device.
3. Interface connections between different information systems are invisible to the user.
4. Interfaces physically join two or more disparate information systems.

Correct Answer: 3

Rationale 1: Interface connections between different information systems are invisible to the user. Vendors often claim their products are based on open systems technology, which is the ability to communicate with other systems. The reality is there has been little incentive for vendors to market products that readily work with their competitors’ products. Interfaces do not require HL7 devices; open systems technology is a concept; and interfaces do not physically join systems.

Rationale 2: Interface connections between different information systems are invisible to the user. Vendors often claim their products are based on open systems technology, which is the ability to communicate with other systems. The reality is there has been little incentive for vendors to market products that readily work with their competitors’ products. Interfaces do not require HL7 devices; open systems technology is a concept; and interfaces do not physically join systems.

The reality is there has been little incentive for vendors to market products that readily work with their competitors’ products. Interfaces do not require HL7 devices; open systems technology is a concept; and interfaces do not physically join systems.

Question 3

Type: MCMA

Health Level Seven (HL7) standards are not the only standards that are evolving to fit the changing health care model. What other organizations are instrumental in supporting the development of standards and helping to define data exchange?

Standard Text: Select all that apply.

1. Department of Defense
2. Centers for Medicare and Medicare Services
3. National Science Foundation
4. Institute of Medicine
5. American Medical Informatics Association

Correct Answer: 2,3,4,5

Rationale 1: Included in development of these standards are: National Science Foundation, Institute of Medicine, American Medical Informatics Association, and Centers for Medicare and Medicare Services. (There are also several others such as HIMSS.) Department of Defense is not included.

Rationale 2: Included in development of these standards are: National Science Foundation, Institute of Medicine, American Medical Informatics Association, and Centers for Medicare and Medicare Services. (There are also several others such as HIMSS.) Department of Defense is not included.

Rationale 3: Included in development of these standards are: National Science Foundation, Institute of Medicine, American Medical Informatics Association, and Centers for Medicare and Medicare Services. (There are also several others such as HIMSS.) Department of Defense is not included.

Rationale 4: Included in development of these standards are: National Science Foundation, Institute of Medicine, American Medical Informatics Association, and Centers for Medicare and Medicare Services. (There are also several others such as HIMSS.) Department of Defense is not included.
