Quizplus · Accepted Answer

With a large number of patients, using a numeric filing system would be the most appropriate as it would allow for easy organization and retrieval of patient files. It also eliminates the potential for errors that may occur with an alphabetic system, especially with patients who may have similar last names. Geographic and subject filing systems are not as efficient for organizing and retrieving patient files as compared to a numeric system.
