Short Answer Questions

Instructions: Answer the following five short answer questions.


  1. Explain how a health record document can be electronic, but not capable of being imported into an EHR. What kind of document can be imported? Why can it be imported?


Answer: A report generated by an EHR usually can be saved in an electronic format, such as a PDF file. However, such a document usually is a representation of a human-readable report, and does not contain information structured in a way that another HIT system knows how to parse and import the data. A document that can be imported contains structured data. For example, a CCD (continuity of care document) structures the content in a machine-readable format (using XML) that can be imported into an HIT system. Standards describing the exact format of a CCD allow different HIT systems to know how to process the information.


Objective: Explain the need for standards and why they exist



  1. List three examples of HIT systems in an inpatient setting.


Answer: Examples of HIT systems in an inpatient setting referred to in this unit include ADT, RIS/PACS, LIS and EHR.


Objective: Identify entities that are commonly involved in HIT system data exchange



  1. How will the “meaningful use” requirements impact the ability of an EHR to exchange information with other entities?


Answer: The meaningful use objectives require that some information stored within an EHR be structured according to specific standards, which will facilitate easier movement of this information between different systems. The meaningful use objectives also require that an organization demonstrate interoperability between the EHR and at least one patient-authorized entity. Additional requirements include sharing information electronically directly with patients, electronic prescribing of medications, and reporting clinical quality measures to CMS or states. “Menu set” options (not all are required) with health information exchange implications include drug formulary checks, medication reconciliation between care settings, summary of care records for transfers or referrals, reporting to immunization registries, syndromic surveillance reporting to public health agencies, laboratory results reporting to public health agencies, patient reminders, and direct patient access to their EHR information.


Objective: Compare current efforts to facilitate health information exchange between providers, communities, regions and nation (NHIN, HIEs, NHIN Direct)


  1. List the three different types of standards as categorized in the meaningful use objectives.


Answer: The meaningful use criteria categorize standards as vocabulary, content exchange, and privacy and security standards.


Objective: Define and differentiate between vocabulary, content exchange, and privacy and security standards


  1. What does HIE, HIO, RHIO, and NHIN stand for? How do they differ?

Answer: HIE = health information exchange, HIO = health information organization, RHIO = regional health information organization, NHIN = Nationwide Health Information Network. HIE is a term to describe the process of health information exchange between 2 or more entities, whereas HIO describes an entity that helps facilitate HIE. A RHIO is an HIO that provides services in a given region. The NHIN is an effort to facilitate health information exchange nationwide.


Objective: Compare current efforts to facilitate health information exchange between providers, communities, regions and nation (NHIN, HIEs, NHIN Direct)




Short Paper
