Explanation:

To determine the key attributes of an EHR according to the Institute of Medicine:

• "Allows access to local and remote information": EHRs facilitate access to health info across locations, so this is correct. But in the given options, the first checkbox is not marked, but based on knowledge, this is also a key attribute. However, from the marked options in the user's image and correct EHR attributes:
• "Allows patients direct access to and the ability to share their personal health records": Patients can access and share their EHRs, correct.
• "Provides continuous authorized user access": Authorized users (e.g., healthcare providers) have continuous access, correct.
• "Engages in clinical problem solving": EHRs support clinical decision - making and problem - solving, so this is correct (the checkbox is unmarked in the image but is a key attribute).
• "Guarantees confidentiality": EHRs have security measures to ensure patient data confidentiality, correct.

But based on the Institute of Medicine's definition of EHR key attributes, the correct options (from the marked ones and correct ones) are:

• Allows patients direct access to and the ability to share their personal health records (as patients should be able to access and share their health info).
• Provides continuous authorized user access (for healthcare providers to access when needed).
• Guarantees confidentiality (to protect patient privacy). Also, "Allows access to local and remote information" and "Engages in clinical problem solving" are also key attributes. But from the given options in the problem (the checkboxes), the marked ones (and correct ones) are:
• Allows patients direct access to and the ability to share their personal health records
• Provides continuous authorized user access
• Guarantees confidentiality
• Also, "Allows access to local and remote information" and "Engages in clinical problem solving" are correct. But if we consider the options as per the problem's checkboxes, the correct answers (the ones that are key attributes) are:
• Allows patients direct access to and the ability to share their personal health records
• Provides continuous authorized user access
• Guarantees confidentiality
• Allows access to local and remote information (should be checked)
• Engages in clinical problem solving (should be checked)

But based on the standard key attributes of EHR by the Institute of Medicine, the correct options (the ones that are key attributes) are:

• Allows access to local and remote information
• Allows patients direct access to and the ability to share their personal health records
• Provides continuous authorized user access
• Engages in clinical problem solving
• Guarantees confidentiality

• Engages in clinical problem solving
• Guarantees confidentiality
