Answer Correct Answer: Access Answer Feedback: Rationale: Barriers that are associated with patient use of PHRs in rural regions include: Access. Ability to connect to the Internet is essential. Many rural communities remain "unwired." While this barrier goes beyond the scope of medical care, patients can be asked about access through friends, family members, work and libraries. Some large health systems such as the VA provide computer access in libraries. Awareness. Patients and caregivers must know about PHR tools and understand their value. Promotion and marketing are important, including word-of-mouth, social networking, and clinician endorsement. Dedicated staff can help design promotional materials, demonstrating tools and disseminating through a variety of channels. Usability. How easy is the application to use? PHR systems that utilized, during their development, a user-centered design process, conducted usability testing and were modified on user input can have greater ease of use and be more intuitive, eHealth Literacy. Patients bring a wide variation in their capacity to use information technology. Those having lower levels of literacy and Internet abilities are likely to have greater challenges in using the PHR as intended. Ensuring a high level of usability, including easy navigation, simple functionality, and readability can enhance willingness and ability to use the PHR. Meaningful Use. PHR usage will be dependent upon users' perception of benefit. Patients must perceive that PHRs will be relevant to their health and beneficial to their lives. Incorporating features such as secure messaging, laboratory results, and appointment and medication requests, will be most valuable to patients and caregivers. Clinical Integration. Nurses, physicians, and other professionals providing care have an important role in the successful deployment and adoption of PHRs. As patients will continue to see health professionals as a source of expert information, encouraging and demonstrating use of these tools to patients and families will be important.

Answer Correct Answer: The ANA recognized nursing classifications codify data used during the nursing process such as assessments, nurse sensitive problems, interventions, and outcomes. Answer Feedback: Rationale: The American Nurses Association (ANA), through the Committee for Nursing Practice Information Infrastructure (CNPII), recognizes terminologies appropriate for use by nursing (Warren & Bakken, 2002). Terminologies must meet defined criteria for approval. The criteria specify that terminologies must be used to support nursing practice reflecting the nursing process. The nursing process data elements include assessment, diagnosis, outcome identification (goal), planning, implementation (interventions), and evaluation. The terminologies have to contain concepts that are clear and unambiguous with a unique identifier.

Which of the following responses are true regarding accurate code input and claims processing? Select all that apply. Answer Selected Answers: The CPT code 99211 is an office visit and used for injections. Correct Answers: Inaccurate code input will delay claims processing. Response Feedback: Rationale: CPT codes were grouped into services by the first digit followed by four more digits that further described the procedure. The number 9 is reserved for visits related to evaluation and management procedures. Thus, the CPT code 99211 is an office visit for less than 10 minutes and is often used when the patient only sees a nurse for an injection, blood pressure check, or some other simple procedure, which does not involve direct contact with the physician. Incorrect use of codes and modifiers delay claim processing.

Answer Selected Answer: The success of the state-wide HIEs is dependent on the NHIN. Correct Answer: The success of the NHIN is dependent on the state-wide HIEs. Answer Feedback: Rationale: The NHIN is a structure that will bring together the state-level HIE and regional HIOs when all stakeholders are using the evolving information exchange standards. The state-level HIE programs have the responsibility to organize and facilitate the implementation of interoperability standards with stakeholders through state-wide operational planning. The role of the state-level HIE program can adapt to the state's needs and priorities based on characteristics of providers from evaluation of current HIT use. The agencies such as public health and Medicaid services within the state government are stakeholders and will be involved with HIE services. The success for the NHIN is dependent on the state-wide HIEs.
