Health Informatics Final Exam - 2021

Health Informatics Final Exam - 2021

• Ergonomics: Computer ergonomics aims to optimize workstations to reduce problems like carpal tunnel syndrome, not auditory problems, skin injuries, or impaired attention spans.

• RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification): RFID is used to track supplies and equipment, and monitor patient flow. RFID readers don't need to touch the RFID chip.

• E-learning Advantages: E-learning facilitates access for distant learners and is adaptable for diverse learners. It also doesn't require in-person attendance, like traditional class, although it does require a teacher or instructor.

• Prolonged Mouse Use: Take breaks every 20 minutes or apply the 20-20-20 rule during prolonged mouse use.

• Keyboard Use: Keep elbows bent at 90 degrees and use wrist rests while typing.

• Information System Security Goals: Information system security aims to protect client confidentiality and restrict data access to authorized personnel. It does not involve disclosing information indiscriminately or allowing unauthorized access.

• Breach of Confidentiality: Revealing lab results without consent, or viewing another person's medical records without their permission, is a breach of confidentiality. Discussing a mutual patient in a physician's office is generally acceptable but depends on the nature of the discussion.

• Ergonomic Concerns: Uncomfortable office chairs can pose ergonomic concerns.

• Repetitive Stress Injuries: Poor device use, over extended periods, is a risk factor for repetitive stress injuries, including if it involves using multiple input devices. correct use helps, but doesn't eliminate the problem.

• Telehealth Technology: Telehealth is a valuable tool for delivering care remotely and it should not be seen as a replacement for high-quality care.

• E-learning Flexibility: E-learning is flexible because it can take place anytime and anywhere necessary equipment is available.

• Data Backup: Differential backups frequently supplement other backup methods, with backups not being considered a threat when performed accordingly.

• Pseudonymity: Pseudonymity in data management allows tracking subjects over time while maintaining anonymity

• Learning types: Asynchronous learning allows for independent study while synchronous learning requires simultaneous participation.

• Chair Height: Adjust chair height so thighs are parallel to the floor, and legs are perpendicular to the floor.

• Password Security: Strong passwords should be at least 8 characters, including upper and lower case letters, and numbers. Easy passwords are not secure.

• Human Error: Human error is often unintentional, not intentional.

• Medical Data Backup: Regularly backing up medical data is crucial for security and protection from loss or theft.

• Interactivity: Interactivity in digital systems allows users to actively participate and engage with the content instead of passively consuming it.

• Non-clinical Telehealth: Non-clinical telehealth includes caregiver support and healthcare management services.

• Real-Time Applications: Real-time applications transmit data synchronously, simultaneously and without delay.

• Smart IV Pumps: Smart IV pumps should be updated and may have programming issues, have alerts (e.g., soft-stops or hard-stops).

• Eye Strain: Position the computer screen at or slightly below eye level to diminish eye strain.

• Clinical Telehealth: Clinical telehealth includes patient advice, remote monitoring, and other clinical consultations.

• Password Recommendations: Good passwords are difficult to guess, not easy to remember, and should not be reused across systems.

• Malware: Trojan horses are a type of malware that hides within seemingly harmless programs or files

• Social Impact of Software: Developers should consider the social implications of their software before release.

• Tele-radiology: Tele-radiology involves transmitting high-resolution radiological images for remote interpretation.

• Keylogger: Keyloggers are programs that secretly record every keystroke.

• Type of Learning: Blended learning combines in-person and online instruction methods.

• Purpose of Tests: E-learning tests ensure learners understand the material and measure their knowledge.

• E-learning Self-Directedness: E-learning allows students to control how they go through course material.

• Content Delivery Systems: Throughput devices capture, process, and store data/content of various types, whether images, sound, or other data.

• Barcode: Barcodes are unique identifiers that use printed vertical lines to track products and items.

• Error Types: Nurses can make slips, commissions, or knowledge-based errors, and this should be observed and prevented.

• Virus Nature: Viruses are programs that spread across computers without any user interaction involved.

• Telediagnosis: Telediagnosis is the use of remote diagnostics for medical condition determination.

• Expert Specialists: Tele-health enhances access to expert specialists, especially when a remote consultation is involved

• Workplace Ergonomics: Workplace ergonomics are important to prevent injury. Incorrect postures should be avoided.

• Information Security: Data security means protecting data from unauthorized access or modification and unintentional misuse.

• E-learning Benefits: E-learning benefits include flexibility, accessibility, and interactive tools.

• Telehealth vs Telemedicine: Telehealth is a broader term including non-clinical services, telemedicine is specifically about clinical, or patient-oriented, remote services.
