Answer to Question 1

1,2,3,4,5
Rationale: The obstacles to sustainability result from underestimating the size and scope of the project, identifying critical mass of data to exchange (e.g. standards for medication history, allergies, side effects, indications, weight/height), identifying critical mass of participants (e.g. pharmacies), the collaboration between common competitors in communities, the resistance to changes in workflow, and the numbers of unskilled workforce with HIT.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Funding is often associated with the perceived and measured sustainability of the HIE. Planners design methods to sustain or to keep the system working once it has been implemented. A system that is not sustainable is not an effective one. Sustainability discussions occur before the implementation phase.
