Looking for insight into the use of this questionnaire...do others really see this as a tool they can use on a application by application basis (one for their EMR, one for the Trauma Registery, one for the PACS system) or is it really meant for an overall/overreaching survey of the actual Covered Entity Information Technology system?
For example question 6.1.5 - Are mechanisms in place for holding users responsible for their actions? (Everyone signs the same type of Information Technology use agreement. Why would this differ by app?) Or Question 6.1.6 - Are hiriing, transfer and termination procedures established? (Again - this would be an overall function, don't see it differing by app.) However Question 6.1.4 - Is there a process of requesting, establishing, issuing and closing user accounts? (Depending on whether your entity is highly IT centralized or de-centralized, this could differ by app.) Information on actual experience with actually using this long and detailed survey would be appreciated!!!!
