Which of the following is NOT a specific type of information system used in healthcare?

  1. Core Business Systems

  2. Order Entry Systems

  3. Patient Monitoring Systems

  4. Patient Care Support Systems

The correct answer is: Patient Monitoring Systems

Patient Monitoring Systems are not a specific type of information system used in healthcare. While Core Business Systems, Order Entry Systems, and Patient Care Support Systems are all commonly found in healthcare settings, Patient Monitoring Systems mainly involve the use of monitoring devices that track and record patient vital signs, such as heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation levels. These systems are important for providing real-time data to healthcare providers but are not necessarily classified as information systems.
