What system assists nurses in the continuous cycle of knowledge generation and transmission through data acquisition, processing, dissemination, and feedback?

  1. Clinical decision support system (CDSS)

  2. Electronic medical record (EMR)

  3. Computer based information system (CBIS)

  4. Health information exchange (HIE)

The correct answer is: Computer based information system (CBIS)

A A clinical decision support system helps healthcare providers make decisions and provides alerts or suggestions based on patient data. However, it does not necessarily assist in data acquisition or feedback. B: An electronic medical record system stores and organizes patient data but does not necessarily aid in knowledge generation or transmission. D: A health information exchange allows for the sharing of electronic health data between different healthcare facilities, but it is not specifically focused on the continuous cycle of knowledge generation and transmission.
