Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, D
The ARRA Meaningful Use requirements provide a financial incentive for EHR adoption and the migration from HIPAA 4010 Standards to 5010 Standards can financially benefit an organization with increased acceptance of claims. The other options are benefits that do not have financial implications.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Using Tall Man lettering for select medication is the only example of clinical decision support. Building multiple aliases, enforcing CMS-approved abbreviations, and providing real-time updates to the order item master are examples of building specific safety protocols into the EHR system.
