Valid health-related technologies affect health
Explanation:
The ultimate purpose of technological advancements in healthcare is to improve patient care and safety as well as to improve processes, practices and services by healthcare professionals.
Digitalization or Electronic health records (EHR) utilizes Data Science, Big Data and Cloud technologies.
Healthcare details of patients and can be accessed by all healthcare providers.
This improves patient care efficiency, ease of workflow, and reduces healthcare costs. Healthcare data management helps to track epidemics and prevent fatality. Improves quality of life. Aids in clinical and pharmaceutical research.
Connectivity issues leads to lack of communication between interconnected areas.
With huge amount of data handled, there is a big risk of data hacking since these also contain patient’s demographic details
Information and Communication Technology is applied in smartphones, electronic mailing services, telemedicine, telemonitoring services. Telemedicine and monitoring is a big boon to serve people in remote areas.
Artificial intelligence is used to track cancer cells, to produce artificial organs. AI can be dangerous if misused.

Processing Claims
A number of technical protocols and industry standards must be met for insurance claims to be delivered expediently and accurately between medical practice and payer.
Medical billing specialists typically use software to record patient data, prepare claims, and submit them to the appropriate party, but there isn’t a universal software application that all healthcare providers and insurance companies use. Even so, insurance claims software use a set of standards, mandated as by the HIPAA Transactions and Code Set Rule (TCS). Adopted in 2003, the TCS is defined by the Accredited Standards Committee (ACS X12), which is a body tasked with standardizing electronic information exchanges in the healthcare industry.
There are two different methods used to deliver insurance claims to the payer: manually (on paper) and electronically. The majority of healthcare providers and insurance companies prefer electronic claim systems. They are faster, more accurate, and are cheaper to process (electronic systems save around $3 per claim). But because paper claims have not yet been completely removed from the insurance claims process, it is important for the medical biller and coder to be well versed with both electronic and hardcopy claims.
Filing Electronic Claims
Certain technologies have been introduced into the system in order to expedite claim processing and increase accuracy.
Software
Some healthcare providers use software to electronically enter information into CMS-1500 and UB-04 documents. Using “fill and print” software eliminates the possibility for unreadable information. This software may also include certain types of “scrubbing,” or tools that check for errors in the documents. While these tools do decrease the amount of errors made in filling out claim forms, they are not always 100 percent accurate, so medical billers should remain diligent when filling out forms using software.
The correct answer is choice C. Informs patients of their rights when seeking healthcare.
It lists all the freedoms a patient has that has to do with healthcare including fair treatment, autonomy over medical decisions, etc.
I hope this helps you and have a great day!! :)
