Haha, Myra, you're right about that. They better not be asking about hospital cafeteria food on this exam. I'm here to show off my healthcare knowledge, not my culinary expertise.

I'm with Alisha. B seems like the obvious choice. Although, I have to say, if the exam throws in a question about hospital cafeteria food, I'm going to be really disappointed. That would be a total curveball.

Nah, I don't think the exam is trying to trick us here. The question is pretty clear about the context being within a system. I'm sticking with B as the answer.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. What if the question is trying to trick us? Maybe the answer is C - you can compare hospitals or clinics even out of a system. That would be a curveball, but I've seen exams do that kind of thing before.

I agree with Beula. Weighting the scores before making comparisons is the best approach to ensure you're comparing apples to apples. Otherwise, you might end up with skewed results that don't accurately reflect the hospitals' performance.

This question seems pretty straightforward. It's asking about how to compare hospitals or clinics within a system when the service case mix is similar. I think the answer is B - scores should be weighted before comparisons are made among hospitals.
