Explanation / Answer

6) The differences between primary and secondary care are:

7) Two key differences between e-prescribing and CPOE (computerized physician order entry) are:

8) In the context of health care ADT stand for admissions, discharges and transfers. This is a set of messages exchanged within a hospital to describe the current state of the patient.

9) (i) Single vendor ensures reliability by providing seamless data flow on the same technical platform while Best of breed finds a strong electronic medical record based on specific functionality.

(ii) In single vendor system selection strategy, there is single log-in and single password. In the best of breed system selection strategy, there is multiple log-ins/passwords. This ensures that the upgrade in one system will not affect another system.

(iii) In single vendor system selection strategy the risk is much higher while in the best of breed system selection strategy the risk is much lower.

10) Statistical Process Control (SPC) is a method used in industries for quality control and measurement during the manufacturing process. The quality data of the process is plotted in a graph based on the control limit defined by the process. If the graph shows that the data range resides within the control limit then it means that the process is in statistical control or the process is operating as per expectation.

Hope this helps.
