Read the first 7 CPHIMS Testing and System Evaluation flashcards as text

  1. In healthcare IT, what does a 'test script' primarily contain?

    Answer: Step-by-step instructions for executing a specific test case

    A test script provides detailed, step-by-step instructions that a tester follows to execute a specific test case and verify expected results.

  2. Which testing environment best simulates real-world production conditions for final validation before go-live?

    Answer: Staging/pre-production environment

    The staging or pre-production environment mirrors the production environment as closely as possible, making it ideal for final validation testing.

  3. When creating test cases for a clinical decision support system, which approach ensures the most comprehensive coverage?

    Answer: Using equivalence partitioning and boundary value analysis

    Equivalence partitioning and boundary value analysis are systematic techniques that maximize test coverage while minimizing the number of test cases needed.

  4. A CPHIMS candidate is reviewing a post-implementation evaluation report. Which KPI best measures clinical workflow efficiency after EHR implementation?

    Answer: Average time to complete documentation per patient encounter

    Average documentation time per encounter directly measures clinician workflow efficiency, which is a key clinical outcome of EHR implementation.

  5. What is the recommended approach when a critical defect is discovered during user acceptance testing (UAT)?

    Answer: Document, prioritize, resolve, and retest before proceeding

    Critical defects found in UAT must be documented, assigned a priority, resolved by developers, and retested before the system can proceed to go-live.

  6. Which of the following best describes 'smoke testing' in healthcare IT system deployment?

    Answer: A preliminary test to confirm basic functions work before deeper testing begins

    Smoke testing is a quick, high-level test that verifies the most critical functions work, ensuring the build is stable enough for more detailed testing.

  7. During system evaluation, which framework is most commonly used to assess the overall value of a healthcare IT investment?

    Answer: Return on Investment (ROI) analysis

    ROI analysis measures the financial return relative to investment costs and is the most widely used framework for evaluating healthcare IT value.
