Show Worked Solution
  • D is correct: My Health Record is important in the use of big data because it can securely store and share health information.

Other options:

  • A is incorrect: While patients can control access, restricting all providers would reduce the usefulness of big data and limit coordinated care.
  • B is incorrect: Digital records may reduce some visits, but they do not eliminate the need for face-to-face consultations, especially for diagnosis and treatment.
  • C is incorrect: My Health Record does not make data permanently anonymous. Instead, it ensures secure storage with access controls.
