Which of the following is a feature of system enhancement?

• A. Planned by vendor
• B. Packaged with other enhancements
• C. Requested by staff or informatics
• D. Automatically included with system purchase

Answer: (C)

System enhancements come from practical needs seen in daily use and are driven by those who work with the system. When staff or informatics identify a gap or inefficiency and propose an improvement, it becomes a candidate for enhancement to better support workflows, safety, or data quality. This user-driven origin is what makes it the best fit: the change is designed to address real clinical practice needs.

In contrast, something planned by the vendor reflects the vendor’s roadmap rather than direct user input, and packaging enhancements together or automatically including them with a system purchase are not defining features of an enhancement. These options describe how changes might be delivered or marketed, not the source of why the enhancement is pursued.
