Xander loves new technology and finds it annoying that the state requires he keep a written record of every cardiac test result. He doesn’t see why he needs to keep a huge file cabinet full of test results when they are all on his electronic patient records! For what reason does the state MOST likely insist Xander keep physical records in addition to electronic ones?

The state most likely insists Xander keep physical records in addition to electronic ones in case Xander’s electronic records are lost due to computer issues. This is a common requirement to ensure that there is a reliable backup and that important patient information is not lost due to technical failures.
