Which term means: a new idea, method, or device?

• A. Audience
• B. Innovation
• C. Resource
• D. Opinion

Answer: (B)

Innovation is about bringing something new into use—an original idea, a new method, or a device that changes how things are done and usually aims to improve outcomes, efficiency, or experience. The other terms don’t capture that sense of novelty and practical change: an audience is who a message reaches, a resource is what you use to accomplish tasks, and an opinion is a belief or judgment. In health care, recognizing something as an innovation means it represents a departure from the status quo with potential benefits, while still needing careful evaluation of safety, effectiveness, and ethical considerations. Examples include a new telehealth platform, a wearable device that monitors vitals, or a redesigned clinical workflow that speeds up care.
