Which core business system assists with patient scheduling in healthcare?

Acuity system
Admission, discharge, and transfer system (ADT)
Scheduling systems
Security systems

The correct answer is: Acuity system

An acuity system is specifically designed to assist with patient scheduling in healthcare. These systems help healthcare facilities manage appointment scheduling, availability, and waiting lists. ADT systems are used for admissions, discharges, and transfers but do not have the same scheduling capabilities as an acuity system. Scheduling systems can refer to a variety of different systems, but may not necessarily be tailored specifically for healthcare. Security systems are also important for healthcare facilities, but do not directly assist with patient scheduling.
