Q

workflow

Study These Flashcards
A
  • any process that occurs in a healthcare system
  • dynamic, moving between levels of organization
25
workflow analysis
examination of tasks, interactions among providers and between providers and pts., and the exchange of information using quantitative and qualitative methods
26
workflow analysis methods
- observing providers as they work - interviewing providers - collecting structured data with questionnaires
27
task analysis
qualitative and quantitative method for understanding the activities associated with a particular goal of pt. care
28
gap analysis
formal report of the gap between current, inefficient workflow and the future, desired workflow with health IT
29
workarounds
unauthorized ways to use health IT; used by nurses and other HCPs who experience workflow problems after implementation of health IT
30
clinical decision support systems (CDSS)
provides clinicians, staff, patients, or other individuals with knowledge and person-specific information to enhance health and health care
31
exceptional patient and family experiences six critical characteristics
- patient-centered - safe - effective - timely - efficient - equitable
32
logistics
describes the organization of supplies and equipment to place them in the right locations at the right time for use
33
supply chain management
refers to a system of manufactures or suppliers that is coordinated to move a product from production through distribution to consumers
34
what does interoperability do to fragmentation?
decreases it
35
slip error
correct action is known but an incorrect action is taken
36
rule-based error
good rule applied in the wrong situation
37
knowledge-based error
lacking knowledge needed to determine appropriate action
38
commission error
doing something wrong
39
omission
failing to do the right thing
40
how does barcoding help nurses?
assists in timely documentation of medication administration and has the potential to decrease medication errors by as much as 86%
41
who regulates the approval and recall of medical devices?
FDA
42
downtime
period during which all or part of an organization's health IT is unavailable
43
flat database model
- only one table is used - attributes are defined in separate columns
44
relational database model
collection of tables is used and linked together by relationship between attributes within the separate tables and/or operations within the tables
45
business intelligence
business practice of learning the techniques of data analysis to understand why buyers make decisions and to identify key processes that can make a business financially successful
46
algorithms
set of instructions used to accomplish a task
47
data-mining algorithms
sets of mathematical rules
48
descriptive algorithms
- used to explore data and identify patterns or relationships within them - clustering, summarization, association rules
49
predictive algorithms
- make predications about values of data using a set of known results - decision trees, artificial neural networks, instance-based learning classifiers, support vector machine modeling, bayes classifiers
50
decision trees
- used to aid in decision-making and in analytical research - tree-shaped diagram with each branch representing a possible decision
51
artificial neural networks
based on biological neural networks in human NS
52
instance-based learning classifiers
store labeled training data and operate similar to a computerized scholastic test
53
support vector machine modeling
informs the program to learn from the data
54
bayes classifiers/bayesian modeling
- use a probabilistic approach for data classification
55
clustering
discovers the groupings in data based on similarities in the attributes of the data
56
association rules
designed to capture information about items frequently associated with each other
57
three essential elements of CDSSs
- knowledge base - reasoning engine - mechanism to communicate with the end user
58
what are CDSSs?
a form of AI
59
natural language processing (NLP)
taking free text from progress notes, nursing documentation, etc., and analyzing it for patterning and added meaning
