no cost • Is developed by a community of programmers, and the program source code is available.

Public Domain

no restriction no condition

what is a open source

open source code

Credible source must have

screening or peer review • CCO- Credentials, Content, & Organization

Buffer size

small amount of ram on hard drive storing information that is accessed frequently for faster retrieval ahead of time.

• Adware

software littered with ads to offset cost of being free/at the expense of computer performance

Data base segmentation

splitting up that information (personal infor, test, data , result ) to different users have different levels of acess to patients infor

what is software

that is computer program

what is the TJC
