Question 9

Type: MCSA

Public health care is responsible for the protecting the health care needs of the public through a variety of ways.

With the increase in technology, which of the following statements is true about information technology and

public health protection?

1. Information technology provides the ability to access Center for Disease Control (CDC) updates on outbreaks

Hebda, Handbook of Informatics, 5/e Test Bank

3. Information technology controls communication during a crisis.

4. Information technology is unnecessary during a crisis.

Question 10

Type: MCSA

The use of the Internet for health information has grown exponentially in the past few years. There are a multitude

of reasons for individuals to check online before contacting their health care provider. Which of the following

statements is a major reason why people turn to the Internet and websites for health related information?

1. Fewer people have health care insurance.

Hebda, Handbook of Informatics, 5/e Test Bank

2. The long lines and waiting time in healthcare providers’ offices prevent individuals from making appointments.

3. People refuse to pay the co-pay when they can find out about their illness for free.

4. People are reluctant to bother their primary healthcare provider.

Question 11

Type: FIB

There is a global concern that not all populations or subpopulations have the resources and capabilities to utilize

or benefit from communication using technology and Internet. This phenomenon is called _____________.

Standard Text:

Correct Answer: digital divide

Rationale : The concern is that not all populations or subpopulations have the resources and capabilities to utilize

or benefit from communication using technology and Internet. Goodall, Ward, and Newman, (2010) refer to this

concern as the “digital divide” and express concern and their research examines the use of technology indicating

that older people in Australia use information and communication technology (ICT) less than other age group.

There is a compelling concern regarding governments or healthcare agencies to move exclusively to ICT

communication may create a chasm of the worst kind excluding select populations from having access to this

important health information.
