Explanation:

• Cost: Implementing systems to handle PGHD in EHRs can involve costs for software, hardware, and training, so it's an obstacle.
• Data integrity: Ensuring that PGHD (from patients, which may be self - reported) is accurate, consistent, and uncorrupted when integrated into EHRs is crucial, so this is an obstacle.
• Privacy and confidentiality: PGHD contains personal health information, and protecting patient privacy and maintaining confidentiality when integrating it into EHRs is a major concern.
• Documentation burden: While patients generate data, integrating it into EHRs can add to the documentation work for healthcare providers in terms of verifying, organizing, etc., so it's an obstacle.
• Patient access: Ensuring patients can securely access and manage their PGHD within EHR systems, and that the system facilitates appropriate patient access while maintaining security, is an obstacle.
