T/F: SMART and FHIR are organizations, while HL7 is a standard.

A

False

22
Q

suitable selections for FHIR

A

a. Cloud communications
b. EHR-based data sharing
c. Server communication in large institutional healthcare providers

23
Q

guidelines for transformative initiatives

A

Create a case for transformation.
 Establish a vision for the end point.
 Employ experts.
 Consider the optimal experience.
 Do not replicate the current state.
 Focus on those initiatives that offer the greatest value to the organization.
 Recognize that small gains have no real impact on transformation.

24
Q

optimization

A

is the process of moving conditions past their current state and
into more efficient and effective method of performing tasks.

25
Q

waste

A

classified as unnecessary activities or an excess of products to perform tasks.

26
Q

what do you need to move from current state to future state

A

gap analysis

27
Q

gap analysis

A

Gap analysis zeros in on the major areas most affected by the change, namely,
technology.
Gap analysis discussion should generate ideas from the group how about best to utilize the technology to transform practice

28
Q

what happens if you don’t involve the end user

A

change is resisted and

efforts are subject to failure.

29
Q

what do you do if you can’t internally benchmark

A

a suitable course of action is to benchmark against an external source such as a similar business practice within a different industry

30
Q

when are process metrics collected

A

at the initial stage of project or problem

identification

31
