Correct Answer: 2
The survey conducted by the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society found the top job responsibilities to be systems implementation and systems development. The least frequent job responsibilities are professional billing and coding and sales/marketing. Research, marketing and testing are not within the scope of practice of the informatics nurse. Purchasing and database design and computer maintenance are usually performed by the computer engineer departments.
