Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conducting interviews with administrators and representative employees from all outpatient services would provide the most comprehensive needs assessment as it will gather information from both management and frontline employees. This will provide a more complete picture of the center's technological needs and challenges. Guidelines provided by the Joint Commission and HIPAA regulations are important considerations but are not specific to the needs of the outpatient center. Interviews with the director and unit managers of outpatient services and the chief executive officer would be valuable, but may not capture the perspectives and experiences of all employees.
