Answer to Question 1

1,2,4,5
Rationale: Potential problems with the PCR include legibility, liability, privacy, and loss of the record itself. Confidentiality is an additional problem. The fact that the PCR is portable is actually a benefit; the PCR is also cost-effective. However, some clients can provide an accurate account while others cannot.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,4,5
Rationale: The HIMSS definition of an ePHR includes: it is a lifelong tool for managing relevant health information, is universally accessible, is owned and managed by the individual (or legal proxy(s)), and is a common data set of electronic health information, and universally accessible. The ePHR must be kept secure to protect the privacy and confidentiality of the health information it contains. It is not considered a legal record, unless so defined.
