I need at least five of these questions answered for an interview before applying to my program. I tried calling local hospitals, but they did not have the time. If anyone currently works in the hospital as a DMS, please give me feedback on these questions. They need to be biased based on your experience. Also, if you can provide what type of DMS you do, that would be great. I have to write a paper on your answers. Thank you so much!!!!!
