The Correct Answer is A
A. Suggest an in-person meeting with the patient to show them how to best use the platform. – This option is proactive and personal, allowing the patient to learn about the portal hands-on and encouraging future use.
B. Inform the patient that they should use their patient portal instead. – While this suggests using the portal, it does not provide any support or guidance, which may frustrate the patient.
C. Request that their primary care physician show them how to use the platform for their next visit. – This could delay the learning process and does not offer immediate assistance.
D. Use the portal on their behalf to transfer the documents. – This does not encourage the patient to use the portal themselves and may create dependency on staff assistance.
