Stage 1 requirements focus on which two main actions?

Stage 1 centers on getting information into the electronic health record and making it accessible to others. The two main actions are capturing patient data in a standardized format at the point of care and sharing that information with patients or other health professionals to support care coordination and informed decision-making. This aligns with the goals of data capture and information exchange that Stage 1 aims to promote. The other options describe activities outside of this focus: billing code development and hardware upgrades relate to administrative/IT infrastructure; automatic generation of clinical trials isn’t part of Stage 1; and denying patient access contradicts the purpose of enabling patient data sharing.
