Which term identifies obstacles preventing patients from accessing care?

• A. CWF
• B. Start of Care
• C. Transportation Barriers
• D. Response-Specific Instructions

Answer: (C)

Transportation barriers identify obstacles that prevent patients from getting to appointments or receiving care. This term directly describes the challenges related to getting to and accessing services, which is exactly what the question is asking about. Start of Care refers to when care begins, not obstacles to access. CWF is not about access barriers, and Response-Specific Instructions relate to how to respond, not to barriers preventing access.
