Answer 1

A Request for Information (RFI) is used when you think you know what you want but need more information from the vendors. It will typically be followed by an RFQ or RFP.

A Request for Proposal (RFP) is used when you know you have a problem but don't know how you want to solve it.

A well defined and complete Request for Information (RFI) and Request for Proposal (RFP) process of identification and selection of health care information system has impacts on collection of information from vendors on their products and services and this information helps in identification and selection of healthcare system.
