Limitation of liability sounds more about protecting the vendor than ensuring the system's usability. I feel like change control is the better option for Harry's needs.

Ah, I remember this from the lectures. PDO does emulate missing database features, so that's the one that's not true. I'll mark that option.

HIPAA training seems crucial, but the question is asking about FIRST steps in staff development. Option D feels too specific. I think systematically assessing skill gaps makes more strategic sense.

D. Change control, for sure. Gotta keep up with the times, even if it means a few extra hoops to jump through. At least it's better than being stuck with a dinosaur of a system!

Ah, the old 'future-proofing' dilemma. I'd go with D. Change control. Keeps things flexible and adaptable. Plus, it sounds like the most 'tech-savvy' option.
