Study Notes
Study Tips
- Do not try to write every word down.
- Tables and charts should be copied directly from the textbook.
Operating Systems
- Most computer users employ a Windows-based operating system, developed by Microsoft.
- Other popular operating systems include Macintosh.
- All modern computer systems utilize graphical user interfaces (GUIs)
- GUIs allow users to interact with the computer by visually selecting elements on the screen.
The Desktop
- The desktop acts as the user's workspace and is displayed whenever the computer is turned on.
- Commonly used icons, such as My Documents and Internet Explorer, are typically displayed on the desktop.
- The taskbar, located at the bottom of the screen, facilitates quick access to frequently used programs.
Terms
- Window: A rectangular frame on the screen used to display data and programs.
- Toolbar: A bar containing icons for frequently used menus and commands.
- Taskbar: A bar at the bottom of the screen (often default) with the Start button and other functions.
Windows
- "Windows" are applications or menus that users can open and interact with.
- Minimize, Maximize/Restore, and Close buttons are used to control window size and closure.
Menus
- A menu is a list of options from which users can select commands to manipulate data.
- A pull-down menu appears when the user clicks on the menu bar.
Tips
- The right mouse click shows the associated menu elements.
- Pressing CTRL + ALT + DELETE can be used to close a program or restart/shutdown the computer if it is not responsive.
- Do not alter settings unless the user is sure what they are doing.
Files and Folders
- Folders are containers for organizing documents, akin to filing cabinets holding documents.
- Computer documents can include text, spreadsheets, images, music, and videos.
- Documents, music, and videos are stored within folders.
Files vs. Documents
- Folders act as containers for organizing documents.
- Documents, such as files, can contain data (text, pictures, videos).
Programs vs. Documents
- Program icons are used to open programs such as Internet Explorer, Microsoft Word and Windows Media Player.
- Document icons represent opened files.
Computer File Management Tips
- Organize files by type (e.g., Program Files).
- Use a single folder (e.g. My Documents) for all documents.
- Create folders within folders.
- Follow consistent file naming conventions, using lowercase letters and avoiding spaces.
- Be specific when naming files.
- File documents as they are created.
- Keep frequently used files at the top of the list.
- Regularly review and eliminate obsolete files.
- Back up files frequently by copying onto another drive or tape.
Class Activity
- Discuss how to efficiently back up important information on a computer or in a medical office.
- Outline methods for keeping information updated and where the data should be stored (e.g., USB, cloud).
Class Activity
- Define "save files to your desktop," with examples.
- Provide reasons for and against saving data to the desktop.
- Files saved on the desktop in an active user session can be easily deleted via improper user interaction or accidentally.
- User profiles can be lost if data is corrupted.
Class Activity
- Describe methods for organizing a large number of patient documents for a 10-year period.
- Suggest organizing documents with patient ID information.
Let's Review
- Hardware: Components of the computer visible to the naked eye (e.g., monitors, keyboards, printers).
- Software: Instruction sets controlling how the hardware works (e.g., operating systems, application programs).
- Storage: Memory space (RAM, ROM, hard drives) used for holding data.
Let's Review
- CPU: The Central Processing Unit—the computer's "brain."
- Memory (RAM): Random Access Memory—stores data the computer is currently using.
- ROM: Read-Only Memory—stores data for the computer to use immediately.
- Storage Devices: Devices used for maintaining data long-term, including hard drives, optical drives, flash drives, USB.
- Input Devices: Tools for feeding information into the computer (e.g., keyboards, mice, scanners).
- Output Devices: Show information from the computer (e.g., monitors, printers).
Review Your Knowledge
- Match technical terms with their definitions.
Review Your Knowledge
- Match hardware terms like monitors, speakers, etc. with their definitions or classifications.
Computer Security Review
- Legal Standards: HIPAA ensures confidentiality and compliance within medical offices.
- Administrative Safeguards: Developed policies and procedures to protect health information (e.g., e-PHI).
- Physical Safeguards: Prevent unauthorized physical access to patient's protected data.
- Technical Safeguards: Use systems and protective tools to restrict unauthorized access to data over networks (e.g., encryption, passwords, firewalls).
Passwords Review
- Passwords for each system should be separate and not shared.
- Log off accounts.
- Passwords may need to be changed regularly (e.g., every 30, 60, or 90 days).
- Some systems follow specific password protocols (e.g., including at least one capital letter, a number or punctuation).
Review Functions of an EHR
- The electronic health record (EHR) can be used to document patient information.
- Documentation includes progress notes, time-stamps, prescriptions, patient education materials, photos, vital signs, diagnostic test results, and the like.
Review Cost Savings with an EHR System
- EHRs can reduce cost saving in many areas (e.g., transcription, chart pull/storage, re-filing, coding).
- EHRs help reduce medical errors, improve patient health and quality of care, manage scheduling, and automate claims, etc.
Review Cost Savings with an EHR System - continued -
- Improved central chart management, condition-specific queries, enhanced communication with clinicians, labs & health plans
- Easy access to patient data anywhere, tracking of messages among multiple staff/physicians/third parties
- Automation of formulary checks, order and receipt of lab tests/diagnostic images, and links to registries/communicable disease databases.
