In telehealth, care often travels through a hub-and-spoke network. The hub is the central site where the telemedicine program operates and where the clinician delivering the care is typically located. Spokes are the remote sites that connect to that hub. The originating site refers to the location of the patient during the encounter, not the clinician’s location, and "home" isn’t a formal network term. Because the question asks for the clinician’s location within the network, the central, coordinating site—the hub—is the correct designation.
