support decisions are developed. As evidence-based practice models are generated, clinical nursing practice and
outcomes are improved. Computer literacy is not associated with standardized terminologies.
Rationale 4: Standard terminologies can facilitate the collection and analysis of data. As a central repository for
data, the investigator can extrapolate and analyze data. From the analysis, linkages can be determined and models
support decisions are developed. As evidence-based practice models are generated, clinical nursing practice and
outcomes are improved.

Question 20
Type: MCSA
The impact of standardized terminology throughout the U.S. health care system has grown exponentially.
Medicare and Medicaid have begun to offer financial incentives to health care providers to promote adoption and
meaningful use of interoperable health information systems and a qualified health record. Which of the following
statements best describes meaningful use?
1. The goal of meaningful use is to input data in a manner that creates evidence-based practice models.
2. The goal of meaningful use is to exchange clinical structured data in a manner that is accurate and complete to
improve patient care in a cost-efficient way.
3. The goal of meaningful use is to provide a warehouse of data that supports medication renewal and patient
teaching plans.
4. The goal of meaningful use is to offer the clinician patient care tools for improved outcomes.
