Answer to Question 1

Rationale: A tethered PHR is inextricably linked to a single entity or health system. Through a secure connection, select elements of the EHR can be accessed such as medication lists, test results, visit history and after-visit summaries.

In essence, these tools are the patient-facing component of the EHR.
