Question

It has been decided that the coders will have access to all e-PHI in the EHR but they will not be able to add or edit data. This process is known as:

a. incidental disclosure.
b. workforce clearance procedure.
c. limited data set.
d. information system activity review.

Answer 1

The process described in the question is called limited data set.

Step-by-step explanation:

The process described in the question, where coders have access to e-PHI (electronic Protected Health Information) in an EHR (Electronic Health Record) but cannot add or edit data, is called limited data set. A limited data set refers to a subset of patient information that excludes certain direct identifiers, such as names and addresses, but still contains enough information to be useful for research or other purposes. In this case, the coders have access to view the e-PHI in the EHR, but their access is restricted from making changes.
