healthcare |\entity. |\Quality-related |\data |\does |\not |\directly |\determine |\
reimbursement |\models, |\making |"A" |\incorrect. |\Quality-related |\data |\is
|\used |\to |\drive |\clinical |\improvements, |\not |\new |\drug |\studies |\so |"B" |\is
|\incorrect. |"D" |\is |\incorrect |\because |\network |\security |\is |\outside |\the |\

|\C. |\chief |\executive |\officer. |\
|\D. |\chief |\financial |\officer. |- |\CORRECT |\ANSWERS |\✔✔C. |\chief |\executive
|\officer. |\
The |\correct |\answer |\is |"C" |\because |\a |\CEO |\is |\the |\executive |\officer |\in |\
charge |\of |\total |\management. |"A" |\is |\not |\correct |\because |\a |\CTO |\is |\

CORRECT |\ANSWERS |\✔✔c. |\knowledge |\base, |\inference |\engine, |\and |\
patient-specific |\information |\
"C" |\is |\the |\best |\option |\because |\the |\system |\is |\dependent |\on |\the |\
ability |\to |\reason |\from |\a |\knowledge |\base. |"A" |\is |\not |\the |\best |\option |\
because |\these |\are |\simply |\general |\features |\of |\a |\clinical |\decision-
support |\system. |\In |"B", |\while |\these |\items |\are |\required, |\they |\can |\
exist |\without |\a |\clinical |\decision-support |\system. |\Artificial |\intelligence
|\is |\not |\part |\of |\a |\clinical |\decision-support |\system, |\so |"D" |\is |\not |\

document |\that |\guides |\the |\computer |\programmer. |\It |\should |\not |\be |\
created |\before |\functional |\requirements |\and |\functional |\specifications
|\are |\completed. |"D" |\is |\incorrect |\because, |\while |\a |\technical |\
architecture |\document |\is |\a |\very |\important |\step |\if |\the |\solution |\is |\to |\
be |\integrated |\and |\accessible |\across |\the |\network, |\the |\functional |\
requirements |\document |\is |\the |\first |\step.
