In last week’s practice questions, we discussed the information system lifecycle. This week’s practice question deals with workflows and workflow diagramming. Most of you have seen workflow diagrams so this should be a pretty easy one for you, but it’s always helpful to jog the memory if you haven’t built a workflow in a while. […]

We’ve been slacking lately with putting out the practice question of the week, so in this week’s post, we’re adding not one question, not two questions, but three practice questions! Awesome! And they all have to do with the information system lifecycle. A lot of our recent time has been devoted to developing material that […]

Welcome to this week’s clinical informatics practice question of the week. Every Thursday, we aim to introduce a new topic to help you learn a little more to successfully pass the clinical informatics subspecialty board examination. Last week we discussed the five rights of clinical decision support. In this week’s topic, we’ll be reviewing the […]

In last week’s clinical informatics practice question, we discussed sensitivity and specificity. This week we’ll be sticking with the clinical decision making and care process improvement theme but move on to how we can improve healthcare outcomes within Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) using the five rights of CDS. Where Does this Fit Within the […]

Last week’s clinical informatics practice question of the week reviewed the AHRQ’s Quality Indicators. This week we’ll be moving on from the qualitative and getting into the quantitative. Yippee! Specifically, we’ll be discussing sensitivity and specificity. Where Does this Fit Within the Core Content? This week, we’ll be staying in the CDS and Care Process […]

In the previous practice question of the week, we discussed theories in Human Computer Interaction. This week, we’ll be moving back to clinical decision making by reviewing quality indicators. Where Does this Fit Within the Core Content? Quality Indicators fall under clinical decision making and care process improvement – particularly under CDS and “Quality and Safety […]

We took a break from our practice question of the week last week to work on putting together our clinical informatics study package. But we’re back this week and we’re talking about some of the theories in Human-Computer Interaction. You could spend an entire research career on just one of these topics within HCI, but […]

Welcome to this week’s clinical informatics exam practice question of the week. In last week’s post, we talked about nomenclatures, terminologies, and vocabularies. In this week’s post we’ll get a little less technical and a little more managerial. In particular, we’ll be discussing project management documents. Get excited for charters, scope statements, WBSs, and project management […]

Last week’s question covered Metcalfe’s law and the value of a telecommunications network. In this week’s practice question, we’ll be discussing clinical data standards. In particular – standards involving nomenclatures, vocabularies, and terminologies – and even more specifically, Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms (SNOMED-CT). Where does this fit within the core content? Clinical data […]
