Question 5 of 5
All of the following are objectives of FHSIS except:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: "To complete the clinical picture of chronic diseases and describe their natural history." This objective is not typically a primary focus of the Field Health Service Information System (FHSIS). The main purpose of FHSIS is to collect and provide standardized, facility-level data for monitoring and evaluation of health programs. Rationale: A: Incorrect. Completing the clinical picture of chronic diseases is more aligned with clinical research and patient care, not with the primary objective of FHSIS. B: Incorrect. Providing a standardized database for more in-depth studies is a key objective of FHSIS, enabling researchers to access and analyze data. C: Incorrect. Minimizing recording burden and allowing more time for patient care is a potential benefit of FHSIS, but not its primary objective. D: Incorrect. Ensuring useful, accurate, and timely data dissemination is a core objective of FHSIS to support evidence-based decision-making.
