QUESTION

An important component of the informatics infrastructure is:

a. establishment and adoption of standards to support semantic interoperability.
b. defined standard value sets, groupings, aligners, and attributes.
c. organizations enabled to set individual standards for quality measurement and reporting.
d. variation in the types of data used to populate the quality metrics.

ANSWER:

ANS: A
Establishment and adoption of standards at multiple levels are important components of the informatics infrastructure. The standard quality metrics must define standard value sets, taxonomies, concept codes, attributes, and data structures. Organizations must adopt the same standards for quality measurements and reporting. Standard clinical content needs to be adopted and used in the electronic systems, and the content should be represented by standard data terminologies.
