Exam 4: HIS Application Systems and Technology

Large instances of data are normally stored in a:

Voice over wireless local area network (VoWLAN) technology offers which of the following benefits?

A redundant array of independent drives (RAID) 10 hard drive configuration is a combination of RAID 2 and RAID 5, giving it the fastest performance and lowest cost, with the only drawback being limited availability.

One of the first decisions facing healthcare organizations is whether they will maintain their own data center facilities, lease one or more commercially owned colocation data center facilities, or outsource (remote host) both their data center facility and computing equipment to a third party.

Which technical area should not be considered when developing a mobile computing strategy?

A comprehensive mobile computing policy, including corresponding set of procedures and an end-user acceptance agreement is needed for healthcare organizations to successfully define and implement at bring your own device (BYOD) strategy

Electrical power in data centers can be remotely measured and tracked by using a:

The software development life cycle (SDLC) methodology phase that comprises developing the preliminary and detailed designs, including how the system will meet functional requirements is called:

Dedicated back-end computer systems designed to efficiently and cost-effectively store and transfer a healthcare organization's server data are called:

A clinical information systems (CIS) application that supports chemistry, pathology, blood bank, instrumentation, calculations, calibrations, and results management areas is called a:

Which of the choice below is not an advantage of using nonpersistent virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI)?

Using interfaces allows a healthcare organization to avoid building applications in silos, and enables the sharing of common data elements, thus bringing greater efficiency than application integration.

Encryption-at-rest is an important control that ensures the security of all data traffic containing confidential or ePHI information, such as network traffic, web activity, email messaging, file transfers, text messaging, and instant messaging.

Extranets are networks that typically provide web-based content and access to applications and databases for users who are outside of the organization's internal network.

Despite the 2012 Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's annual report findings that hospitals are increasing adopting electronic health record systems, many healthcare organizations are still facing challenges with generating comprehensive reporting, and addressing data silos and data integrity issues.

Zero-client computers are similar to thin-client computers, but offer the additional advantage of having no local hard drive or OS to secure or maintain.

Managed security services are cost-effective information security services that have the benefit of reducing the number of information security personnel needed by the healthcare organization.

Very early smoke detection apparatus (VESDA) systems are used in data centers to provide ambient or room cooling, heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning.

Traditionally, healthcare organizations have purchased vendor applications, such as commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) or "best of breed" products.

A critical technology that is designed to automate and intelligently analyze system logs for anomalies and inappropriate activity is called:
