Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Listservs can be used in health care to connect groups of patients with common problems or to send updated information to large groups. E-mail has become a common means of communication but would not be focused on the patient's issues. Social media include online technologies such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn that allow people to communicate easily by the Internet to share information and resources, but they are more general than listservs. These technologies enable a potentially massive community of participants to collaborate, providing a mechanism for tapping into collective power in ways previously unachievable. A blog is a social medium that is usually maintained by an individual and has regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or videos. Most blogs are interactive, allowing visitors to leave comments and message each other. Many blogs focus on health care issues.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The electronic medical record (EMR), which is the documentation of a single episode of care (i.e., outpatient visit or inpatient stay), becomes a part of the electronic health record (EHR), which is a longitudinal record of care. EHRs are becoming widely used for individual health care encounters and for maintaining patients' health records over long periods. As EHRs become fully implemented, they include provider order entries, progress notes for all disciplines, computerized medication profiles, access to diagnostic test results on a timely basis, decision support systems, and online clinical reminders and alerts.
