Which of the following best describes the purpose of data provenance banners in Care Everywhere?

• A. To flag that portions of the chart come from external sources.
• B. To indicate the patient has requested a data export.
• C. To mark data as final after review.
• D. To show the clinical outcome.

Answer: (A)

Data provenance banners flag where a piece of chart data originated. In Care Everywhere, chart items can come from outside the local EHR, and the banner clearly marks that this data is from an external source. This helps clinicians understand the context, potential differences in documentation practices, timing, or data matching, and to review the external data with that awareness in mind. So the banner’s purpose is to indicate that portions of the chart come from external sources. The other options describe export requests, final data status, or clinical outcomes, which are not what provenance banners indicate.
