The correct option is D) EMRs are used within a practice, but EHRs can be shared among medical practices.

Explanation:

Electronic Medical Records (EMR) contains the history and treatment of a patient in a narrow, digital version. It allows a health care specialist to track data over time and are quick to give main information on the case of a patient. The data from an EMR cannot be used within medical practices.

Electronic health records (EHR) are more elaborate and focus on the complete health of a patient. The data is not digital but in a written format. It can be shared among other medical practices.
