What is the primary objective of Care Everywhere?

• A. Store data locally only on each site
• B. Share all data publicly
• C. Replace EHRs completely
• D. Securely share patient data across care settings with governed policies

Answer: (D)

Care Everywhere is built to let clinicians securely access and share a patient’s information across different care settings, while enforcing defined governance rules. The main idea is to enable interoperable data exchange so authorized providers can see the right information when needed, with controls like privacy protections, patient consent where applicable, and role-based access with audit trails. This supports coordinated care, reduces duplicate testing, and enhances patient safety. It isn’t about storing data only at one site, nor about publicly sharing information, and it doesn’t aim to replace EHRs; instead, it interoperates with them under governed policies.
