  1. A health informatics project manager is preparing a project status report. Which metric BEST indicates whether the project will finish on time?

    Answer: Schedule Performance Index (SPI)

    The SPI (EV/PV) measures schedule efficiency; an SPI below 1.0 indicates the project is behind its planned schedule.

  2. During EHR go-live, an unplanned system outage occurs. The project manager should FIRST consult the:

    Answer: Risk register and contingency plans

    Pre-identified risks and their documented contingency plans provide immediate guidance for responding to known risk events during go-live.

  3. In health IT project management, 'gold plating' refers to:

    Answer: Adding unauthorized features beyond approved scope

    Gold plating occurs when the team adds features or enhancements not requested by stakeholders, consuming time and resources without approved value.

  4. A project manager for a health informatics initiative wants to measure stakeholder satisfaction throughout the project. The BEST approach is to:

    Answer: Conduct periodic surveys and feedback sessions throughout

    Ongoing stakeholder satisfaction measurement allows the project manager to identify and address concerns before they escalate into serious issues.

  5. Which risk response strategy involves shifting the financial impact of a risk to a third party, such as a vendor?

    Answer: Transfer

    Risk transfer moves the financial consequence of a risk to another party, typically through insurance, warranties, or contractual clauses with vendors.

  6. A Schedule Performance Index (SPI) greater than 1.0 in a health IT project indicates the project is:

    Answer: Ahead of schedule

    An SPI > 1.0 means the project has accomplished more work than planned for the period, indicating it is ahead of schedule.

  7. In health informatics project management, a 'work package' is BEST described as:

    Answer: The lowest-level component of a work breakdown structure

    Work packages are the smallest units of the WBS where work can be assigned, scheduled, costed, and monitored.
