Explanation
A. Users would make fewer errors since the software is intended to support ease of use. – This may be true to some extent; however, reliance on software can also lead to other types of errors.
B. None, this platform would make visits faster. – This is misleading; while it may make visits faster, there can still be errors related to over-reliance on the system.
C. None, however, this platform would increase visit times. – This statement contradicts the nature of the EHR system designed to improve efficiency; hence, it is not a correct assertion.
D. Users could become reliant on the new platform due to its ease and may become prone to errors despite the improved speed of visits. – This acknowledges that while the system may reduce calculation errors, users may neglect critical thinking skills, leading to potential errors in other areas of patient care.
