Data, Information and Knowledge

What is the primary advantage of unstructured free text entry of clinical data?

• Faster data retrieval for reports and analytics

• Enhanced communication between healthcare providers

• Improved accuracy of data transfer between systems

• Facilitation of documentation for complex presentations

Structured data entry involves

• Generating narrative text using a word processing program

• Selecting options from drop-down lists and radio buttons

• Using unstructured templates for data input

• Dictating data for automatic structuring

What is the main purpose of standardizing clinical terminologies and coding?

• To complicate communication between HCPs

• To restrict the use of data for research purposes

• To enable data retrieval for reports and analytics

• To ensure semantic interoperability between systems

Semi-structured data in electronic health records refers to:

• Data that is only entered using structured templates

• A hybrid model allowing both narrative text and structured data

• Data that is exclusively entered using coded terminology

• Data that is automatically generated by computer processing

Which characteristic of data quality refers to the absence of errors in the data?

• Reliability

• Objectivity

• Accuracy

• Verifiability

What does the term "velocity" refer to in the context of big data?

• The quantity of data generated

• The variety of data sources

• The speed at which data are generated and change

• The accuracy and completeness of data

What is the purpose of predictive analytics in healthcare?

• To prepare and analyse retrospective data

• To identify patterns or trends in data

• To predict future trends based on data

• To group observations into similar categories

What does aggregated data enable public health agencies to do?

• Provide patient education

• Enhance operational efficiency

• Develop personalised medicine

• Monitor disease prevalence and plan interventions

Clinical guidelines are based on

• Administrative information

• Patient education

• Knowledge gained from research studies

• Treatment precision

How does sharing medical information among healthcare teams benefit patient care?

• Reduces medical errors

• Increases patient engagement

• Optimizes resource allocation

• Enhances operational efficiency
