Answer to Question 1

D
Once numerous systems become linked, the ability to comprehensively search information on any condition will be available. Currently records are frequently unavailable either within a single institution or between health institutions. This unavailability results in unnecessary delays, costly unneeded repetition of tests when data are inaccessible, complete loss of important information, and inability to provide appropriate coordination and continuity of care.

Answer to Question 2

C
