In your organization, in relation to the Electronic Medical Record (EMR), you have identified four areas of concern which are not related to issues of privacy, confidentiality, or security.

Selecting any one of these (whichever is of greatest interest to you) as the first step towards an evidence-based practice solution, write a paper on one of these topics of concern, of your choice, to include the sections noted below; the value of each section is noted by percent, the entire project is worth 100 points.
