What does data provenance mean in Care Everywhere?

• A. The data's storage location
• B. The data's copyright and licensing
• C. Information about the data's origin, source system, time stamps, and modification history used to assess trustworthiness
• D. The list of users who accessed the data

Answer: (C)

Data provenance is about the origin and history of the data to establish trust in what you’re seeing. In Care Everywhere, it means information about where the data came from (the originating system or source), the source system itself, and the time-related details that show when the data was created, imported, or updated, along with any changes made to it over time. This lineage lets clinicians judge how trustworthy and current the data is, verify its source, and audit its history as part of data quality and patient safety.

This isn’t about where the data is stored, or about legal rights and licensing, or about who has accessed the data. Those are separate concepts—storage location is just location, licensing is legal use, and access logs track who viewed data, not its origin or modification history.
