a. Population daemon
b. Matt Daemon
c. Roster management engine
d. After update extension

Answer 28

Question 29

You are configuring a metric to determine whether or not a patient is a member of the Diabetes registry. You would like the metric to return a Yes or No. What operator and value could you use? (Choose only One)

a. = NULL
b. = 1
c. = 2
d. < > NULL
e. < > 1
f. < > 2

Answer 29

d. < > NULL

Answer Explanation: The registry metric should store either outcome yes [1] or no [2]. Setting the operator to < > NULL will return either answer. 1 < > is always true and 2 < > NULL.

Question 30

You build a new registry to track patients with Diabetes. Only active patients should appear on this registry. How will you account for this in your build? (Choose only ONE)

a. Create a second inclusion rule to define an active patient and link it to your registry.
b. Nothing. There are only active patients in the system
c. Build a registry metric to define an active patient
d. In the new registry, list the active patients registry as a prerequisite and check membership required.

Answer 30

d. In the new registry, list the active patients registry as a prerequisite and check membership required.

Answer Explanation: Selecting membership required for a prerequisite registry ensures only members of the prerequisite registry are evaluated against the inclusion rule in the dependent registry.

Question 31

You create a Reporting Workbench report for physicians in the Isthmus Family Medicine department so they can find their patients who are on the congestive Heart Failure registry. When the physicians run the report, everyone sees Dr. Smith’s patients instead of their own. Why is this happening? (Choose only ONE)

a. The wrong patient base was used
b. The wrong report template was used
c. The Run as User criterion was filled in with Dr. Smith
d. Dr. Smith was entered as the Authorizing Provider for the report

Answer 31

c. The Run as User criterion was filled in with Dr. Smith

Answer Explanation: Running a report with the Run as User criterion filled in with the value of “Dr. Smith” will cause the report to always return results that match Dr. Smith’s subset of patients, even if Dr. Smith is not running the report.

Question 32

a. Dashboard resource (IDK)
b. Dashboard metric (IDN)

c. Both Rule (A) & Rule (B)

Answer 34

b. (B) - 2101111902 - MR MPM PATIENT GENERAL PCP

Answer Explanation: Because the measure group Asthma is mapped to an override attribution rule, the override attribution rule is used instead of the default attribution rule.

a. Native HTML
b. Graph
c. Table
d. Link

Answer 35
