The clinical problem from the previous discussion was chronic heart failure and the clinical question is if they will continue to use standardized medication treatments that may not be working with the complexity of chronic heart failure (Bai, Yao, Jiang, Bian, Zhou, Sun, Hu, Sun, Xie, & He, 2022). The Individual components to this question would be located in the electronic health records (EHR) of the patient within the database of the healthcare system. The individual components would be the patient demographics which includes the name of the patient, account number, sex, date of birth, race, religion, address, and insurance information, admission history and physical, the medication list, the laboratory results, the nursing records and the physician records. EHRs are designed to hold many types and ranges of patient data such as listed above and it has an endless capability for being customized to the particular needs of the patient and the HCP as well as the organization (Alexander, Hoy, & Frith, 2019).
