The Bush administration called for the adoption of the electronic health record (EHR) by 2014 as a means to help transform U.S. health care. Who owns the individual client record when an EHR is used?
1. The client
2. Ownership is unclear
3. The institution at which the record is created
4. The health care providers who enter the data
2
Rationale: Ownership is unclear for the individual client record when an EHR is used. This is a complex question. With the development of the EHR, ownership issues become more complex. Because many providers use the same data, it is unclear who actually owns the record and who is responsible for maintaining accuracy. Because the data are shared and updated from many sites, decisions must be made regarding who can access the data and how they will be used. In addition, it must be determined where the EHR data will actually be stored.
