Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Presently, it may take 14 months from the time that a committee is formed until a system selection is finalized. The selection of health care information systems will occur many times in the future as manual processes are replaced by automated ones and as individual systems require upgrades, outlive their utility, or can no longer be supported for various reasons. As the process is repeated, the body of knowledge required to support this practice will continue to grow helping to ensure the choice of the best system for a given organization.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,4,5
Rationale: The informaticist can specialize as an educator about, designer of, and an advocate for the use of consumer informatics in health care delivery.
