Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: The correct answer is Vendors should address institutional requirements and provide needed information quickly when asked.. The vendor should be knowledgeable about their system as well as the needs of the institution. Providing customized services does not guarantee that the vendor is reliable in other areas. Contact lists of previous customers willing to be interviewed or host site visits should be made available routinely.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: There has been a paradigm shift in the expectation of the health care consumer or patient. An increasing number of consumers have a greater expectation and an increase in learning more about their personal health. To that end, the Internet and related health websites have become an important component in the understanding of health and illness. E-patients are individuals who assume access to health care information 24/7 and expect to be a partner in health care decision making.
