Which is a secure online site where patients can view their health information?

• A. Interoperability
• B. MPI
• C. CDSS
• D. Patient/Parent Portal

Answer: (D)

The idea being tested is enabling patients to access their own health information securely online through a dedicated patient portal. A patient/parent portal is designed for login authentication, encryption, and role-based access so patients or parents can view test results, visit summaries, medications, immunizations, and messages with their providers, as well as appointment details. Interoperability describes how well different health IT systems exchange data, not how patients access it. The Master Patient Index links patient records across systems, but isn’t a patient-facing site. Clinical Decision Support helps clinicians with care decisions, not patient viewing. Therefore, the secure online site for patients to view health information is the patient/parent portal.
