Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
A picture archiving and communication system (PACS) is an application that allows for imaging storage, portability, communication, and clinical integration of all imaging modalities with the HER. POCT is point-of care testing and refers to blood gas analysis performed at or near the site of a patient, in a setting that is different from a normal hospital clinical laboratory. HITECH is Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act that is part of a national strategy for building a national health information infrastructure. CPOE is computerized physi-cian order entry.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Key performance indicators (KPI) are indicators of quality and efficiency that are selected based on reporting or operational requirements. Business intelligence (BI) refers to a set of tools that permit capture, storage, and transformation of data into useful and actionable information. Clini-cal decision support (CDS) has been defined as Health information technology functionality that builds upon the foundation of an EHR to provide persons involved in care processes with general and personspecific information, intelligently filtered and organized, at appropriate times, to enhance health and health care. A subset of EHRs is the computerized physician order entry (CPOE) system. Through CPOEs, orders can be electronically transmitted to the EHR, saving time and reducing transcription errors resulting from handwriting clarity issues.
