1. Slow adoption of uniform languages
2. Limited funding
3. Rapid adoption of data exchange standards
4. Confidentiality of private health information (PHI)
5. Failure to attain a birth-to-death electronic health record (EHR)
1,2,4,5
Rationale: From a health information technology perspective, health care research has been impeded by all of these except a rapid adoption of data exchange standards. Slow adoption of data exchange standards and uniform languages, a failure to realize a birth-to-death electronic health record, limited interoperability, limited health information exchange, concerns over the confidentiality of private health information, and limited funding all hinder research. Many technical issues also still need to be resolved.

A. The presence of high levels of chloride causes more hydrogen to be retained in the blood to help balance the excess chloride, causing the development of hyperchloremic acidosis. B.
