Answer to Question 1

Electronic records should support:
physician access to patient information

new and past test results in multiple-care settings

computerized order entry

computerized decision-support systems to prevent drug interactions

secure electronic communication among providers and patients

patient access to records, disease management tools, and health information resources

computerized administration processes

standards-based electronic data storage

reporting for patient safety and disease surveillance efforts

Answer to Question 2

An electronic record system could not be implemented in such a short period of time. Many processes have to be analyzed before implementation can occur. Transitioning to electronic record systems can take years to accomplish and must be planned by numerous departments within the organization.
