Answer to Question 1

1,3,5
Rationale: Comprehensive procedures for how the system will be used to support client care and associated administrative activities should be developed before the training process is begun. User guides provided by the vendor may be adequate if a limited number of modifications were made to the base system. However, if significant modifications have been made, it may be necessary to customize documentation to reflect the system as the users will see it. Downtime procedures and manual requisition forms, data dictionary, and backup procedures are all recommended.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: The lack of common language prevents the universal EHR from becoming a reality. Although the EHR is not fully realized at this time, it is a common hope that it will be fully developed. The competition among providers, limited interoperability, limited health information exchange, concerns over the confidentiality of private health information, limited funding and technical issues have all impeded its progress.
