A teaching hospital regularly hires new radiologists. Since these radiologists do not have a strong level of experience as a new hire, the hospital wants to adopt an evidence-based tool to offer the radiologists data to help them when developing clinical assessments.Which health information technology tool will offer the hospital this option?
Robotics
Artificial intelligence
Evidence-based practice (EBP)
Clinical decision support
The Correct Answer is D
A. Robotics – Robotics can assist in procedures and some clinical tasks, but they do not directly provide evidence-based data for assessments.
B. Artificial intelligence – AI could support radiologists by analyzing imaging data and assisting in interpretations, but AI alone may not provide the structured, evidence-based clinical guidance needed.
C. Evidence-based practice (EBP) – EBP provides structured approaches to applying clinical research to patient care. However, it doesn't directly deliver automated, real-time support to the new radiologists.
D. Clinical decision support – Clinical decision support (CDS) provides real-time guidance based on evidence-based data, assisting radiologists in making accurate assessments by offering relevant clinical information.

B. Human-resources information system. – This system manages employee information and staffing but does not directly impact patient scheduling availability.
C. Admission/discharge/transfer system. – This system manages patient flow but is not primarily responsible for scheduling availability across systems.
D. Registration and scheduling system. – This system is essential for managing patient appointments and schedules, determining availability for both administrative and clinical operations.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
A. Referring the patient to their primary care physician. – This may be helpful, but it could delay the patient’s ability to make informed decisions about their medication purchase.
B. Communicating with the pharmacy and the patient's primary care physician to acquire the necessary documents. – This could be time-consuming and may not be necessary for over-the-counter medication.
C. Referring the patient to the associated pharmacy agent. – Pharmacy agents are knowledgeable about medications, including over-the-counter options, and can provide immediate guidance on contraindications.
D. Communicating via the patient portal while utilizing the presented allergy data available to assist the patient through the same portal. – While the patient portal can be helpful, it may not provide real-time assistance compared to direct communication with pharmacy staff.
