Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Decision makers may have a more challenging time realizing the return on investment or understanding the importance of the investment in FISs, since information technology software applications, such as patient accounting or revenue, are considered intangible assets.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
FISs are not involved with the clinical management of care. Accounts receivable management, accounts payable management, and fiscal reporting management are financial management processes and included in an FIS.
