2. Considering what you have learned about these types of managers thus far and doing additional researching as necessary, answer the following:
- How might the manager for whichever department you chose above use technology/systems to improve patient care? To minimize costs and maximize efficiency? If you are having trouble, think generally here about how technology improves record keeping, and then consider the type of data these managers and directors have to manage.
