Answer 1

Ans) Healthcare organizations have many relationships to manage, including patients, providers, payers, and vendors. Payers refer to insurance providers that pay providers for patient care.

- Vendors refer to any entity that provides services and/or products in exchange for a fee, which includes contractors and suppliers.
