Which term denotes online access for patients to their health information?

• A. Video Conferencing
• B. Patient Portal
• C. Group Discussion Participation
• D. Hearing Appliances

Answer: (B)

Access to health information online is provided by a patient portal, a secure online platform where patients can log in to view their medical records, lab results, medications, care plans, and messages with the care team. This term specifically denotes the way patients access their own health data remotely, supporting engagement and timely communication in home health care. Video conferencing is for real-time virtual visits, not ongoing access to records. Group discussion participation isn’t about accessing personal health data, and hearing appliances are devices for hearing, not for viewing health information.
