Ava is checking in to the hospital to have elective surgery. The intake nurse gives Ava a special code that she must use to go online and make an account.

She tells Ava that it is called a 'patient portal' but that Ava cannot just go online and make a profile by herself. She must enter this special code. What is MOST likely the reason for the special code needed to access Ava's electronic medical records?

• It is probably a coupon code that gives Ava a discount on medical care.
• It is probably a cookie that tracks and sells Ava's contact information.
• It is designed to allow doctors to control who is allowed to make a profile.
• It is probably a security code to keep Ava's information confidential.
