Answer to Question 1

Any two of the following:
Only the patient has the information about what symptoms were present at the onset of the illness and what the outcome of medical treatment of those symptoms was.
The patient is also the source of past medical, family, and social history.
Patient-entered data is a more accurate reflection of a patient's complaints.
Patients who can review their histories are better prepared for the visit.
Patient-entered data is organized by the computer for the provider in a succinct and easy-to-read format that becomes the starting point for the patient encounter.
Up to 67 of the nurse's or clinician's time with the patient is spent entering the patient's symptoms into the visit documentation.
It allows the clinician more time to discuss the treatment plan with the patient.
