Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Traditional medical records have always been the property of the service institution, but this may not be true in the future. Consumer consent is required for health professionals to retrieve or share patient records to ensure personal information is not accessed inappropriately. Ultimately, ownership may be driven by who has control and access to the data.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D, E
Despite the many advances in technology, there are still many issues to resolve associated with implementation costs, ownership, data integrity, privacy and confidentiality, organizational culture, human factors, and development of an infrastructure to support a nationwide EHR. Care coordination is considered an advantage, and education is not a major issue.
