1.Clinicians designed an intervention to reduce missing clinical information of diabetic patients in the electronic patient record at the time of visits. If a study is done to determine if there was a decrease in missing information in patients’ health records one year after, what kind of evaluation research is this?
A) Outcomes
2.The “five rights” for clinical decision support would include all of the following except:
A) Certification
3.As discussed in the chapter, outcomes evaluation would assess:
A) Specifically defined target outcomes
4.A new clinical decision support system is being implemented. Following the initial release of the system an on-line survey is sent to users to assess user satisfaction with the system. The results of the survey will be used to modify the CDS. What kind of evaluation is this?
A) Formative
5.A multidisciplinary team of five researchers conducted observations, interviews, and focus groups. What kind of researchers use these techniques?
A) Qualitative
6.What is the primary difference between undertaking evaluation to determine that the value of a program is and undertaking evaluation research within a program?
A) Research is undertaken to obtain generalizable knowledge
7.Sensitivity is the ability of a test to correctly identify those with the disease (true positive rate) The equation for sensitivity is expressed as:
A) True positive/(True positive + False Negative)
8.Positive predictive value is the probability that subjects with a positive screening test truly have the disease. The equation for Positive Predictive Value is expressed as:
A) True positive/(True positive + False Positive)
9.Negative predictive value is a probability of not having disease given that you have just tested negative and is expressed as:
A) True Negative/(True negative + False Negative)
10.The endoscopy suite uses metrics for the automated coding function to assess the accuracy of computer-assisted-coding software. What statistics should they consider using?
A) Sensitivity and specificity
11.Specificity is the ability of the test to correctly identify those without the disease (true negative rate). The equation for specificity is expressed as:
A) True negative/(True negative + False Positive)
12.Based on chapter 6, evaluation research is a specific kind of research that includes which of the following?
A) Social science methods
13.A new electronic record was implemented in the primary care practices of a given health system. A usability and satisfaction survey was sent to all users six months after implementation. What kind of evaluation research is being undertaken?
A) Summative
14.A computerized medication alert system was designed to decrease patient safety events and was evaluated by Shah et al. This study prompted the redesign of systems, resulting in:
A) Improved clinician acceptance of alerts
15.A step-by-step toolkit to evaluate health information technology is provided by:
A) The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)
