less secure.

not comparable with the paper-and-pencil record.
ANS: A
Computer-based patient record systems, such as EHRs, provide better protection than

more in-depth than that found in computer-based records.
c.
patients have the right to know that the confidentiality of their records is strictly
maintained, regardless of the type of medical record used.
