PCC should be able to get auto-credit for this.  A description would be needed explaining how PCC clients can access their medical records remotely from home via RDP or potentially even Pocket Partner.

This is a critical factor which means you must do this in order to get any of the 4 points for element 1B. Here, you should describe their after-hours phone service.
