Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The operation index would be the best choice as it contains information on all the surgeries performed in the hospital, including CABGs. The disease index and physician index would not provide specific information on surgeries performed, while the master patient index contains information on all patients, not just those who underwent CABG.
