What system helps manage data using the relational model and can link a patient's table to a treatment table?

Core business system
Laboratory information systems
Pharmacy information systems
Relational database management systems

The correct answer is: Relational database management systems

A relational database management system (RDBMS) is the correct answer because it is designed to manage data using the relational model, which organizes data into tables with rows and columns. This system allows for relationships to be established between tables, making it possible to link a patient's table to a treatment table, for example. Option A, core business systems, typically refers to broader enterprise systems that may include various functionalities beyond data management. Option B, laboratory information systems, are specific to managing laboratory data and may not necessarily be optimized for relational data management across different healthcare domains. Option C, pharmacy information systems, are focused on managing pharmacy-related data and may not provide the robust relational database capabilities needed for complex data relationships.
