Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Ownership is unclear for the individual client record when an EHR is used. This is a complex question. With the development of the EHR, ownership issues become more complex. Because many providers use the same data, it is unclear who actually owns the record and who is responsible for maintaining accuracy. Because the data are shared and updated from many sites, decisions must be made regarding who can access the data and how they will be used. In addition, it must be determined where the EHR data will actually be stored.

Rationale: A major component of the CPR is support for links to local or remote information resources. Results reporting including unstructured data reports are part of the EMR.
