#2 if the same setting is configured differently at both the service area level and the department level, the service area level will override the setting at the department level.

select one of the following (1 pt)
true
false

Explanation:

Analyze the Rule of Specificity hierarchy

$$ \text{Facility} ightarrow \text{Service Area} ightarrow \text{Parent System} ightarrow \text{Revenue Location} ightarrow \text{Department} $$

Compare level specificity

$$ \text{Department Level} \subset \text{Service Area Level} $$

$$ \text{More Specific Level Overrides More General Level} \implies \text{Department overrides Service Area} $$

Evaluate the statement

$$ \text{Statement: "service area level will override the setting at the department level"} \implies \text{False} $$

Answer:

• True
• (B) False (Correct answer)
