What type of system should Johanna consider suggesting to facilitate the admission, discharge, and transfer (ADT) of patients?

  1. Core business system

  2. Laboratory information systems

  3. Pharmacy information systems

  4. Relational database management systems

The correct answer is: Core business system

Johanna should consider suggesting a core business system to facilitate the admission, discharge, and transfer (ADT) of patients. Core business systems are designed to handle essential administrative tasks within healthcare facilities, including patient admissions, discharges, transfers, scheduling, billing, and other critical functions. These systems integrate various departments and functionalities to streamline processes and enhance efficiency in healthcare settings. Options B, C, and D (Laboratory information systems, Pharmacy information systems, and Relational database management systems) are more focused on specific aspects of healthcare operations and data management, rather than the comprehensive functionality needed to support patient ADT processes like a core business system does.
