According to the Kaiser Foundation, which of the following statements is true about the need for data and connectivity in health information technology?

A. All health care–related functions should be online.
B. Paper medical records should be the exception rather than the rule.
C. Social media does not help in connecting people with similar diseases.
D. Imaging results should always be hard copy.
E. Patients should always talk to a person when scheduling an appointment.


B. Paper medical records should be the exception rather than the rule.

According to a Kaiser report entitled "Our Vision for the Future of Health Care," paper medical records should be a thing of the past. Many health care–related functions, but not all, can be put online. Social media has been effective in establishing patient networks. Imaging results should be scanned so that transmittal is easier and patients should be able to schedule appointments online. Many of these things are starting to happen, but we have a long way to go.
