2. The EHR exists only in private, for-profit acute-care institutions.

Rationale: The lack of common language prevents the universal EHR from becoming a reality. Although the EHR is not fully realized at this time, it is a common hope that it will be fully developed. The competition among providers, limited interoperability, limited health information exchange, concerns over the confidentiality of private health information, limited funding and technical issues have all impeded its progress.
