Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: This scenario is an example of the use of the MPI of patient identifiers. Both information systems, though different, used the same global identification number for the client and allowed for client identification at the point of care. The data dictionary defines terminology, the clinical data repository is a database where collective data from all information systems are stored, and many efforts to develop uniform languages are under way in the health care arena.
