Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The provider service records include information about the numbers of clinic clients seen daily,home visits made daily,transportation and mileage,the provider's time spent with the client,and the amount and kinds of supplies used.The provider service record is completed on a daily basis by each provider and is summarized monthly and annually to indicate trends in health care activities and costs relative to personnel time,transportation,maintenance,and supplies.A clinical record is the client health record.This would contain health information for a single client,would not generally include clinic costs,and would be an inefficient source because it identifies service to only one individual.Financial records include extraneous items for the clinic as a whole.Extracting specific data will not be as easy,because they will be from the provider service record.Morbidity and mortality records would not be suitable in this instance.
