to data breaches
c) EHRs are more patient-centered and include information from various

Rationale: EHRs and EMRs are both digital versions of a patient's medical
history, but EHRs have more features and functionalities than EMRs.

and allow for interoperability and coordination of care. EHRs also have
higher standards of security and privacy than EMRs.
