I think discharge service is definitely a factor; we practiced a question about how different patient groups rate their care differently.

I remember discussing how patient age can influence satisfaction scores, but I'm not sure if it’s a characteristic that should be adjusted for in reports.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I'm trying to think through the different areas of database security, but I'm not totally sure which one is specifically about maintaining access to data.
