Application 1: Define a Health Information Exchange and the underpinnings that must exist to
support the EHR model discussed in terms of local, regional and national utilization. How are these
similar and how are they different? What concerns are present, if any, with local, regional or national
EHRs? What provides motivation to those now required to use the EHR? How does this affect the
patient?
