Which of the following is a type of Patient Care Support System?

  1. Clinical information systems

  2. Financial systems

  3. Human resources systems

  4. Security systems

The correct answer is: Clinical information systems

Clinical information systems are a type of Patient Care Support System. These systems are designed to improve the quality of patient care by providing healthcare professionals with tools to manage and coordinate patient information, streamline workflows, and support clinical decision-making. Clinical information systems can include electronic health records (EHRs), computerized physician order entry (CPOE) systems, clinical decision support systems, and more. Financial systems, human resources systems, and security systems are not directly related to patient care support but are essential components of healthcare organizations for managing finances, personnel, and ensuring data security and privacy.
