The "upper level" of the informatics stack: Focuses on interactions between two information systems Focuses on goals and concerns of the organization Focuses on data standards for exchanging data Focuses on technologies used in the service of higher-level goals 2. Goals of the "World" of Clinical care include: Ensuring that "Total Populations" get the best preventive care Ensuring interoperability between clinical information systems Ensuring that illness is treated optimally in patients under care Ensuring that the data transmitted by wearables are interpreted correctly 3. An example of "specific module" would be CIS ADT PACS DRG 4. From a policy perspective, informatics/health IT is most valuable because It provides the conduit for representing and communicating the money reimbursed to providers. It determines the new model of care an institution might use. It provides the conduit for representing and communicating data that provides federal decision makers evidence of quality care. It determines how much risk an organization wishes to take within a new model of care. 5. In building risk models, an emerging difficulty that threatens populations at risk is Including social determinants of health. Addressing biases in the data Al algorithms use for training. Including healthcare utilization from EHR data. Addressing social services. 6. Which stakeholder is missing from the 1992 model of the "Computer Based Patient Record"? Patient HMO Laboratory Community hospital 7. Which of the following is most true regarding informatics interoperability? The business case for interoperability remains a challenge. The ONC goals are all "above the Line". The ONC Policy and Technical Components are not concerned with confidentiality. It concerns only the exchange of data, information, and knowledge. 8. The "Fair" principles apparently underlying HIPAA include Limitation of data quality Limitation of transparency Limitation of disclosure Limitation of distribution 9. HIPAA Privacy means that Health care providers may alert the government if a patient contracts HIV Researchers must alert the government if a patient experiences a reportable disease Health plans may alert the government if a patient is shot Employers must alert the government if a patient is shot 10. In "CIA," Confidentiality means Protection from the government Protection from unauthorized access or disclosure The right of individuals to keep information about themselves from being disclosed to others When and where information is rightly needed 11. Deidentification is Limited to "limited data sets" Expressed in terms of the probability of re-identification Fool-proof, if you use the "Safe Harbor" 18 items Reinforced by penalties for failure of deidentification 12. Evaluation is needed To test if a software module produces the output the vendor said it would To limit your assessment to data from within the system To make mid-course corrections in deployment or use To find only problems within your system 13. The evaluation frameworks concerned with perceived usefulness (as opposed to user satisfaction) are The Technology Acceptance Models The information Success Model The HOT-fit model The Theory of Planned Behavior 14. Evaluation of health effects in the population from an informatics intervention are best sought at which Stage of Maturity? Pilot Scale-up Demonstration Pre-prototype/prototype 15. The New Models of care are technically at what Stage of Maturity? Pilot Scale-up Pre-prototype/prototype Demonstration

Final answer:

To balance the costs of health treatments, enhance patient quality of life, and protect privacy, policies must address affordability, patient experience improvement, and stringent privacy measures in health record handling.

Step-by-step explanation:

When developing policies that involve health records, several concerns must be balanced, namely the costs of treatments and diagnoses, patient quality of life, and risks to individual privacy. Three critical questions to address would be:

  • How can we ensure the affordability of treatments and diagnoses without compromising patient care and privacy?
  • In what ways can patient quality of life be improved alongside maintaining high standards of privacy?
  • What measures can be implemented to safeguard patient privacy while allowing necessary access to health records for treatment purposes?

The answers to these questions must navigate the complex interplay between reducing healthcare costs, enhancing patient outcomes, and maintaining strict confidentiality in line with legal requirements such as HIPAA.
