Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D, E
Self-management of open accounts, ability to pay outstanding balances, secure communication on a 24/7 basis with the business office, and ability to update address or demographic changes are components of the online billing and payment system that benefit patients. These functions benefit patients because patients can access the system to perform the listed functions at their convenience. Though they may indirectly benefit the patient, automating the provider's day and providing the provider with a dashboard view are direct benefits for the provider.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Open shift management uses web-based technologies to allow employee self-scheduling. Other terms used include shift bidding systems. These systems allow employees to sign up for open shifts over the Internet.
