Which system is designed to collect patient data in real time?

Admission system
Case management system
Clinical Information System (CISs)
Financial system

The correct answer is: Admission system

The correct answer is A. Admission system. An admission system is designed to collect patient data in real-time as patients enter a healthcare facility. It is used to gather important information such as demographics, insurance details, medical history, and reason for admission promptly. This real-time data collection helps healthcare providers make informed decisions quickly and provide the necessary care promptly. Options B, C, and D are not primarily focused on collecting patient data in real-time. A case management system is more about coordinating care and resources for patients, a Clinical Information System (CISs) focuses on managing clinical data and information, and a financial system handles financial transactions and billing processes in healthcare settings.
