Registered Health Information Administrator (RHIA) — Question 152

Rachel, a nurse, can write progress notes in the patient's electronic health record. Vera, a cod can view the progress notes but is not authorized to write a progress note. What controls this?

Answer options

• A. authentication
• B. two-factor authentications
• C. biometrics
• D. based access control

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, based access control, as it defines the permissions assigned to users based on their roles within the system. Authentication (A) verifies identity but does not dictate access levels, two-factor authentication (B) enhances security but does not define permissions, and biometrics (C) are methods for authentication rather than access control.
