Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The admission register is a log of all patients admitted to a healthcare facility and typically includes the admission date. This would be the best choice for retrieving the name of a patient admitted on a specific date. The master patient index is a database of all patients seen at a healthcare facility and their demographic information. The number index and operation index are not relevant to this request.
