Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Because individual providers have different types of practices, the Health IT Policy and Health IT Standards Committees divided the Meaningful Use metrics into core required elements and menu elements. Permitting providers an opportunity to report on required core elements and then choose to report on a select few menu elements addresses the unique aspects of each provider's practice/facility and adds flexibility to the financial incentive program.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Pursuant to the HITECH breach notification requirements, because there is a breach of more than 500 unsecured records, the media must be notified to ensure patients are made aware of the breach. In addition to the media outlets, the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Civil Rights Agency must also be notified within sixty (60) days of discovering the breach.
