2.Question 2Which of the following statements is true? 1 pointMedical data is estimated to double in volume every 2-3 months on averageMost hospitals use a standardized IT and electronic health record workflowMedical data is generated in an organized systematic way that is very amenable to data science techniques and applicationsClinical structured data is not well suited for traditional programming approaches compared to imaging data

In an effort to increase efficiency and lower costs, many hospitals have begun implementing digital health records. However, medical researcher Grace Mitchell suggests that while digital records may cut costs, they could also increase instances of miscommunication and errors, ultimately lowering the quality of patient care.11 Mark For ReviewWhich finding, if true, would most directly support Mitchell's suggestion?A) Hospitals that have implemented digital health records have experienced a significant reduction in administrative costs.B) Several hospitals that transitioned to digital records have seen an increase in patient recovery times.C) Doctors at hospitals with digital records report higher job satisfaction compared to those at hospitals with paper records.D) The implementation of digital health records has led to more streamlined communication among different hospital departments.

7.Question 7Which of the following is MOST likely to incentivize health care providers to over-utilize medical care?1 pointFee for service payment systemPaying physicians a salaryUsing “supply-side” tools such as gatekeepersCapitation payment systemIncreasing the number of expensive but not readily accessible diagnostic tools and services

Question 9Which of the following is true of capitation?1 pointCapitation shifts risk from the provider to the insurer.Physicians will benefit from having as few people in their panel as possible.Capitation incentivizes providers to provide fewer costly, time-intensive services than fee for service payments. Capitation combats the problem of adverse selection since providers will want to take the sickest patients. Capitation pays the provider a fixed amount for a specific service; for example, one knee replacement. 10.Question 10Which of the following is true regarding the US healthcare system?1 pointLarger practices are more likely to have complete patient data than smaller practicesPatients can only see physicians within the same practice so that all of their data is streamlined into one EHR recordWhen payment records are used, those from capitation systems are more useful than those from fee-for-service systems in assessing care utilizationPayment records are not a useful source of data, as they often do not accurately reflect the amount of care given to a patient11.Question 11Hospitals in the US can:1 pointOperate on a for-profit or a not-for-profit basisBe publicly or privately ownedBe teaching or non-teachingHave or lack an emergency department (ED)Have or lack an intensive care unit (ICU)All of the above12.Question 12Which of the following accurately describes a hospital network, in the context of U.S. health insurance?1 pointAll hospitals within the same geographic areaThe group of physicians with admitting privileges at a hospitalA group of hospitals with whom an insurer works, and whose enrollees are encouraged to useNone of the above
