Rationale 2: The steering committee chairperson or another member of the steering committee may serve as the

implementation project leader. Either the chief information officer, strategy officer, an informatics specialist,

project manager, or a consultant experienced in this area may serve in this capacity. It is important, however, that

the project leader be involved in the entire selection and implementation process and possess strong leadership

and communication skills. The project leader should have a firm understanding of the vision, goals, and

expectations for the system.

Question 12

Type: MCSA

A hospital is implementing a new electronic nurse charting system. When selecting members for the

implementation committee, if all are available, which one of these should be given priority?

1. Informatics nurse specialist

2. Experienced consultant

3. Steering committee chairperson

Hebda, Handbook of Informatics, 5/e Test Bank

4. Chief information officer

Question 13

Type: MCSA

An implementation is to go live in a limited number of client units but in all ancillary departments. The remaining

client units would be scheduled to go live in groups, staggered over a specified time frame. What implementation

strategy is being used?

1. Roll out

2. Modular

3. Occur all at once

Hebda, Handbook of Informatics, 5/e Test Bank

4. Direct

Question 14

Type: MCMA

Which of the following are recommended for developing system procedures and documentation?

Standard Text: Select all that apply.

1. Create backup procedures to be used in the event that the system is not running either for reasons of scheduled

maintenance or unforeseen circumstances.

2. If major modifications were made to the base system, use the vendor’s system user guides.

3. Develop a data dictionary containing system terms and terms for mapping from one system to another.

Hebda, Handbook of Informatics, 5/e Test Bank

4. During the training process, develop procedures for how the system will be used to support client care and

associated administrative activities.

5. Create separate documentation that includes the downtime procedures and manual requisition forms and locate

in an easily identifiable and accessible location.

Question 15

Type: MCMA

Which of the following are examples of ongoing systems technical maintenance?

Standard Text: Select all that apply.

1. Problem solving and debugging

2. Performing a file backup

3. Maintaining a backup supply of hardware

4. Maintaining and updating the disaster recovery plan

5. Configuring, testing, and installing system upgrades

Question 16

Type: MCMA

A major consideration for organizations implementing new systems is the return on investment (ROI). ROI can be

measured using tangible and intangible measures. Which of the following are examples of tangible measures?

Standard Text: Select all that apply.

1. Decreased costs for labor and non-labor expenses such as maintenance
