A disadvantage to the utilization of the electronic medical record (EMR) includes which of the following?
1. Accessibility from several different locations simultaneously and by different levels of providers
2. The intensive training in the beginning needed to prepare staff members to use the EMR
3. Less time available for client care because more time is required for documentation activity
4. Inability to incorporate diagnostic images into the EMR because of space limitations
2
Rationale: It is actually an advantage that the EMR can be accessed from several different locations simultaneously, as well as by different levels of providers. The disadvantage is the amount of time needed in the beginning for training on the computer records. However, once staff members are trained, more time is available for client care because less time is needed for documentation activity.
