By what year did the executive order aim to ensure the availability of electronic medical records for all Americans?

• A. 2004
• B. 2020
• C. 2010
• D. 2014

Answer: (D)

The key idea is the government’s push to replace paper records with electronic health records so patients can access and share their health information securely. The executive order set a concrete deadline to achieve nationwide availability of electronic medical records, aiming for all Americans to have electronic access by 2014. The other years don’t match that milestone, whereas 2014 reflects the target year established to accelerate adoption, standardization, and interoperability across the health system.
