Answer to Question 1

A
Autonomy refers to the client's right of self-determination and freedom of decision making. A patient who is not fully informed is denied the freedom and access to make a decision.

Answer to Question 2

A
The HIE is defined as the electronic movement of health-related information among organiza-tions according to nationally recognized standards (USDHHS, 2008, p. 6). The HIE is a process within either a state health information network or a regional health information organization often for a geographic area. Effectiveness research applies epidemiological methods to large da-tabases to study relationships among health care problems, interventions, outcomes, and costs, and determine alternatives and their effects with different patient characteristics and intervening variables. Health information management and management information systems provide services to automate and support clinicians' and managers' decision-making processes.
