Which term refers to the site from which the clinician is providing telehealth services?

In telehealth, encounters are described by where the patient is and where the clinician is. The site from which the clinician delivers the service is the distant (or distance) site. The patient’s location at the time of the visit is the originating site. Spoke describes a network layout in hub-and-spoke models, not the clinician’s location, and unsupervised site isn’t standard terminology here. So the correct term for the clinician’s location is distance/distanced site.
