This worksheet consists of 12 questions. Questions 1 through 5 are worth 6 points each. Questions 6 through 12 are worth 10 points each.

1. In Module Three, you created a data dictionary of standardized terms and definitions for your institution based on the information in a patient medical record. Two weeks after being discharged, the patient scheduled a follow-up appointment with a specialist to assess how well his wounds have healed. The specialist provider would like a summary of the patient's interaction at the hospital and would also like to know how the institution is defining certain data elements such as length of stay, inpatient days, and so on. Briefly describe two methods you could use to extract data from the data dictionary database to be sent to the specialist provider.
3. What formula did you use to derive length of stay? Did you include the time in the emergency room in your calculation? Why or why not? What is the patient's length of stay according to your calculation?
5. If the number of inpatient service days at the hospital for the month of December is 5,387, what is the average daily census?
7. Why is it important that the specialist provider knows how the terms are defined and used at the institution?
9. How does the use of vocabulary standards support data integrity and quality in healthcare?
12. Use the resources below to identify the formulas needed to calculate the scenarios in questions 6-12. Also refer to the Sample Problem Document as a reference.
