  2. Here are some thoughts, though you should check your text or notes to be sure.

    4. As a transcriptionist, your most important skill is

    A. the ability to type quickly

    B. proficiency

    C. the ability to accurately use reference materials

    D. the ability to understand and analyze the dictation

    You said D, but a transcriptionist has no real need to understand what the physician or surgeon is discussing to provide a proper transcription, and they certainly have no need to analyze the information. A more likely answer would be B. proficiency. A is wrong as typing quickly is only a plus if the information is correct.

    7. A database of information used for research, patient follow-up, and improving public health programs may be a/an

    A. correspondence management system

    B. cancer registry

    C. electronic medical record

    D. tumor board

    A is wrong as correspondence would not apply, any of the other three might, though the EMR would be least likely to aid public health. Check the other 2 answers in your text or notes.

    8. If health care costs continue to rise, insurance companies fear that

    A. they’ll have to offer a greater variety of insurance policies

    B. coverage for dependents under age 18 will decrease

    C. government involvement will increase on both state and federal levels

    D. consumers will be driven to competitors who can offer lower prices

    Health insurance greatest fears in the US is that if health care costs and the number of uninsured cannot be addressed the answer would be C.

    9. How are professional credentials usually maintained?

    A. By completing a continuing education cycle

    B. By passing an annual examination

    C. By joining the professional association

    D. By receiving a degree

    You said D. But once the degree is obtained it does not help in maintaining credentialling. All credentials require continuing education, but some also require periodic re-examination (though usually not annually) so A would be most correct.

    10 the answer is A

    11 the answer is B

    13. Increasing the accessibility of patient information, reducing offsite storage costs, and freeing up department storage space are all benefits of implementing

    A. computerized medical records

    B. digital transcription systems

    C. an integrated delivery system

    D. correspondence management systems

    You said B, but digital transcription systems would not change off-site or departmental storage needs, it would only change the method in which dictation was performed and stored for the transcriptionist. In the past this has been by dictaphone, or tape. A - Electronic or computerized medical records is the correct answer.

    16. In managed care, all services must be

    A. billed at a fee-for-service rate

    B. monitored and approved

    C. approved by the primary care physician

    D. provided by the same physician

    In managed care the patients are seen by a primary care provider, and all referrals are monitored and approved at that level before being submitted. You said B, but the answer may be C.

    17. A new technology that will change the role of the transcriptionist is

    A. speech recognition

    B. desktop transcription systems

    C. personal digital assistants

    D. smart cards

    You said B, which is one possible answer, but many providers are using voice or speech recognition software instead of transcriptionist for routine transcription and letters, this will have a significant impact. Check for the most correct answer.
