Exam 9: Systems Development Life Cycle: Nursing Informatics and Organizational Decision Making

Class hierarchy allows objects to inherit characteristics or attributes from parent classes, which fosters object reuse resulting in less coding.

What term refers to teasing out the requirements for the system after studying the business needs of the organization in detail?

A health informatics team is developing a high-quality telehealth technology that needs to be implemented in 3 months. Which development approach is most appropriate?

Interoperability is the ability to share information across organizations.

An informatics nurse is working with end users who are testing a new electronic health record by using it on a daily basis. Which of the following will the informatics nurse gather?

Rapid application development is:

An informatics nurse is assessing a healthcare system to see what expertise and infrastructure are needed to complete the integration of an electronic health record system. This is which type of feasibility study?

There needs to be united efforts to create systems that are integrated and interoperable to improve the future of health care.

MoSCoW stands for "Must have, Should have, Could have, and Would have." The "must have" requirements are needed to meet the business needs and are critical to the success of the project.

An informatics nurse is performing a cost-benefit analysis on the implementation of a health information technology. Which phase of the waterfall model is the project in?

The systems development life cycle can be a blend of two approaches.

A physician is using an electronic health record in a clinic that can be accessed by a partnering healthcare provider in another facility. This is an example of which of the following?

An informatics nurse is developing a plan to integrate an elaborate electronic health record that will require modifications over time. The informatics nurse chooses to not use the waterfall model because:

A computer-aided software engineering tool is being used to assist in the design of a new health technology, and the informatics team uses this tool for which of the following reasons?

A nurse is presenting an idea on the incorporation of health information technology into a clinical setting. The initial step is to perform a feasibility study, which is used for what purpose?

During beta testing, users put the new system through its paces to make sure it does what they need it to do to perform their jobs.

An informatics nurse is educating healthcare professionals on a new electronic health record. In the dynamic system development method, the informatics nurse is facilitating which step of the project life cycle?

A nurse is using a computer-aided software engineering tool in the implementation phase of a new health information technology system. The nurse is using which type of tool?

MoSCoW stands for "Must have, Should have, Could have, and Would have". The "should have" requirements are those that would be great to have if possible, but the success of the project does not depend on them being addressed.
