Customer relationship management (CRM) is a major HMIS enterprise software system that:
[removed]
has a predetermined budget.
[removed]
can enable owners to personalize their heathcare services benefits online.
[removed]
has a set listing of highly recommended and non-participating physicians and specialists.
[removed]
does not maintain research information on prescription drugs.
Issues that may arise with a RHINO setup like the Mayo Clinic’s include problems with:
[removed]
maintaining separate processes as previously developed.
[removed]
using insurance companies to iron out problems.
[removed]
difficulties with patients.
[removed]
data shadowing and the need for creating interfaces to communicate among disparate platforms and software.
The rapid advancements of e-commerce and managed care placed new demands on the healthcare industry in the 1990s to:
[removed]
establish information infrastructures that work with the Foxfire browser.
[removed]
establish information infrastructures that facilitate timely and interoperable patient formation.
[removed]
establish information that works with Internet explorer (IE).
[removed]
establish information that does not contain firewalls.
Consolidation, sometimes purported as a “market-sheltering activity” occurs when:
[removed]
the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer is shared.
[removed]
the program instructions and data provides the CPU with a working storage area.
[removed]
two or more comparable healthcare services organizations combine to augment or preserve market power.
[removed]
read-only memory (ROM) is shared.
One definition of community health information networks (CHIN) is:
[removed]
A network of stakeholders within a defined region who are committed to improving the quality, safety access, and efficiency of healthcare through the use of HIT.
[removed]
A special interest group (SPIG).
[removed]
Improved efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare services delivery.
[removed]
A not-for-profit organization.
One definition of regional health information organizations (RHINO):
[removed]
A network of stakeholders within a defined region who are committed to improving the quality, safety access, and efficiency of healthcare through the use of HIT.
[removed]
A special interest group (SPIG).
[removed]
Improved efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare services delivery.
[removed]
For-profit organization.
Open systems, as characterized by the Internet, electronic data interchange (EDI), and extranets, offer:
[removed]
two-way access for external agencies.
[removed]
eliminate the need for the exchange of standard-formatted transactions.
[removed]
no requirement for electronic ordering.
[removed]
no requirement for electronic invoicing through EDI.
For practice management systems delivered from private healthcare organizations and hospitals, electronic billing and patient scheduling are being developed for numerous benefits, including:
[removed]
keeping manual follow-up procedures.
[removed]
reducing, or possibly eliminating, all paper-based forms for which healthcare services organizations are especially vulnerable.
[removed]
increase the accuracy of billing/coding.
[removed]
eliminating electronic order processing.
What is the ultimate and primary goal for the CHIN evolution and the RHINO movement?
[removed]
Consumer privacy.
[removed]
Internal policies.
[removed]
The development of Health maintenance organizations (HMOs).
[removed]
The establishment of a national health information network (NHIN).
EHR will be one of the most costly project expenditures that a healthcare services organization will undertake, with regard to the investments of time and money and the resultant challenge of returns on investments (ROI). This is due to:
[removed]
the significance of the returns to be realized from an EHR implementation remains a concern for many healthcare executives.
[removed]
the program instructions provide the CPU with a working storage area.
[removed]
two or more comparable healthcare services organizations combine to augment or preserve market power.
[removed]
read-only memory (ROM) is shared.
A Web-based PHR system will empower patients with:
[removed]
remote patient monitoring for older patients that cannot be added since patients do not need to be concerned about their chronic states of health.
[removed]
access to their own records and help them take a more active role in managing their own health.
[removed]
privacy since physicians will be the only people allowed to view records.
[removed]
accessibility for all caregivers since the records are open for viewing.
Possible risks in trusting all your personal health records with a carrier such as Google Health include:
[removed]
a network of stakeholders within a defined region who are committed to improving the quality, safety access, and efficiency of healthcare through the use of HIT.
[removed]
information that could be sold to, or mined by, people from organizations that are unknown to the patient.
[removed]
improved efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare services delivery.
[removed]
a not-for-profit organization could safe keep your records.
Healthcare databases have been in existence for as long as there have been data storage devices, and in addition to a computer data-processing database, they can include.
[removed]
the volumes of patient files lining the shelves of a physician’s clinic.
[removed]
healthcare organizational policies and decisions.
[removed]
query languages such as SQL.
[removed]
processes as outlined in a documentation manual.
Google Health pays particular attention to security and privacy issues, which clearly restricts:
[removed]
infrastructures that work with the Foxfire browser.
[removed]
information that facilitates timely and interoperable patient data.
[removed]
the transmission or release of the subscriber’s information to third parties without the subscriber’s consent.
[removed]
information that does not contain firewalls or other protections.
When combined with various other workflow tools, computerized physician order entry (CPOE) can also be useful in providing information about:
[removed]
manual follow-up procedures.
[removed]
reducing paper-based forms.
[removed]
patient scheduling.
[removed]
eliminating electronic orders.
Electronic health records can:
[removed]
improve upon unique non-standardized processes.
[removed]
eliminate single data-entry points throughout the organization.
[removed]
significantly increase the risk for medical errors.
[removed]
enhance the quality of healthcare services delivery.
Closely related to, and often functioning as part of, EHR, a computerized physician order entry (CPOE) system is basically:
[removed]
a competitive system within an amalgamation of systems.
[removed]
an internal policies document approved by the Board of Directors.
[removed]
automated order-entry system that captures the instructions of physicians with regard to the care of their patients.
[removed]
information on research of prescription drugs.
Three categories of healthcare data are required, almost universally, by healthcare services
organizations for supporting their planning and decision-making activities, and one of these is:
[removed]
vital statistics.
[removed]
environmental statistics.
[removed]
census statistics.
[removed]
consensus statistics.
