Which statement best fits a request for information (RFI) on a wireless cardiovascular (CV) monitoring system?
1. An Internet search is conducted to find likely wireless CV monitoring system vendors.
2. A brief document is sent to several CV monitoring vendors outlining plans for expansion to a wireless cardiovascular monitoring system.
3. A formal request is sent to one CV monitoring vendor following an initial contact at a trade show.
4. A representative of the wireless CV monitoring system search committee attends a trade show to appraise possible vendors.
2
Rationale: The correct answer is a brief document sent to several CV monitoring vendors outlining plans for expansion to a wireless cardiovascular monitoring system. The purpose of an RFI is to obtain essential information from each interested vendor about its system capabilities related to the expansion to a wireless CV monitoring system. The information received allows elimination of those vendors that cannot meet the organization's basic requirements. An Internet search would not meet RFI requirements.
