Answer to Question 1

A
The Quality Data Model (QDM) is a quality tool designed by the National Quality Forum as an information model to define concepts used in quality measures and clinical care related to the implementation and automation of electronic health record use. The QDM provides a potential for more precisely defined, standardized, less burdensome quality measurement and reporting related to the EHR.

Answer to Question 2

A
The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act created some new Medicare and Medicaid incentive programs to assist eligible physicians, hospitals, and other professionals as they transition to the electronic medical record. The HITECH Act provided financial incentives for health care providers for the meaningful use of certified EHR technology and the transition to EHR by the year 2015 . Health care providers who do not meet the requirements and become meaningful users by 2015 will have their Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement reduced.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
