Answer to Question 1

A
A smart card, or a computer disk for information, is similar in size to a credit card. This card can supply information regarding insurance, emergency care, and electronic address information to obtain access to a patient's health record. This card can also include a medication profile and other health information.

Answer to Question 2

C
The high cost of the equipment and installation of sophisticated communication lines is prohibitive for many organizations. The reluctance by some physicians and other health care personnel and the patients themselves to use the system is another factor. A major obstacle is obtaining reimbursement from private and governmental insurers.
