Which type of system involves data acquisition, processing, dissemination, and feedback of information?

Clinical decision support system (CDSS)
Computer based information system (CBIS)
Electronic health record (EHR)
Health information exchange (HIE)

The correct answer is: Computer based information system (CBIS)

A computer-based information system (CBIS) involves the acquisition, processing, dissemination, and feedback of information. CBIS is a comprehensive system that encompasses hardware, software, data, procedures, and people to support decision-making and control in an organization. Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) focus more on providing healthcare professionals with clinical knowledge and patient-related information to enhance decision-making. Electronic health records (EHR) primarily focus on digital patient record-keeping. Health information exchange (HIE) systems facilitate the sharing of patient information between healthcare providers.
