Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: The purpose of system integration is to ensure that disparate information systems can communicate and exchange data among the different systems. Most health care facilities have a variety of different users that need system data. Integration is defined as the process by which different information systems are able to exchange data in a fashion that is seamless to the end user. Providing a reliable flow of information between the facility and physician offices is a specialized case and does not address the overall purpose.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Authentication is the process of determining whether an individual has access to information. The process is enhanced by passwords, a username, smart card, retina scan, voice recognition, or fingerprints.
