Sagot :

Answer:

b)

Explanation:

From the options provided, the only drawback of using digital medical records is that Digital medical records might be impossible to access in a power outage. This is because digital records are saved on a database either locally or remotely. Regardless of which, the records can only be accessed through an authorized computer system that is connected to the database. These are electronic systems that require power to function. Without power you would not be able to use the computer and therefore, would not have access to the medical records. Unlike, paper records which can be accessed regardless of whether there is power or not.
