Read the first 7 Telehealth Technology & Platforms flashcards as text

  1. What is the primary purpose of a patient portal integrated with a telehealth platform?

    Answer: To give patients secure access to their health records, appointments, and messaging

    A patient portal provides patients with secure, 24/7 access to their medical records, appointment scheduling, test results, and provider messaging.

  2. Which type of remote patient monitoring (RPM) device is most commonly used to manage patients with hypertension via telehealth?

    Answer: Blood pressure cuff

    Digital blood pressure cuffs that transmit readings to providers are the primary RPM device used for hypertension management in telehealth programs.

  3. A telehealth practitioner is selecting a platform. What does 'end-to-end encryption' specifically protect?

    Answer: Data in transit so only the sender and recipient can read it

    End-to-end encryption ensures that data transmitted between two parties is encrypted throughout transit and can only be decrypted by the intended recipient.

  4. Which of the following best describes a 'virtual waiting room' in a telehealth platform?

    Answer: A digital queue where patients wait online until the provider joins the session

    A virtual waiting room is a digital holding area where patients wait after connecting to the platform until the clinician is ready to begin the session.

  5. When evaluating telehealth platforms for accessibility, which standard should guide compliance for patients with disabilities?

    Answer: Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1

    WCAG 2.1 provides the technical standards for making digital platforms, including telehealth interfaces, accessible to users with visual, auditory, or cognitive disabilities.

  6. A telehealth platform uses WebRTC technology. What is the primary advantage of WebRTC for telehealth video sessions?

    Answer: It enables browser-based video calls without additional software installation

    WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) allows real-time video and audio sessions directly in a web browser, eliminating the need for patients to download separate apps.

  7. Which metric is most important for assessing the technical performance of a telehealth video platform during a session?

    Answer: Latency (delay) between audio and video transmission

    Latency — the delay between when data is sent and received — directly impacts communication quality and clinical accuracy during telehealth sessions.
