(ACO) and is designated as a Level 1 ACO. What is part of this
designation? p. 2
a. Bonuses based on achievement of benchmarks
b. Care coordination for chronic diseases
c. Standards for minimum cash reserves
d. Strict requirements for financial reporting Correct Answer-ANS: A
A Level 1 ACO has the least amount of financial risk and requirements,
but receives shared savings bonuses based on achievement of

and minimum cash reserves standards are part of Level 2 ACO
requirements. Level 3 ACOs have strict requirements for financial
reporting.


What was an important finding of the Advisory Board survey of 2014
about primary care preferences of patients? p. 2
a. Associations with area hospitals
b. Costs of ambulatory care
c. Ease of access to care
d. The ratio of providers to patients Correct Answer-ANS: C
As part of the 2014 survey, the Advisory Board learned that patients
desired 24/7 access to care, walk-in settings and the ability to be seen
within 30 minutes, and care that is close to home. Associations with
hospitals, costs of care, and the ratio of providers to patients were not
part of these results.

c. Evaluating available evidence to guide clinical care guidelines
d. Monitoring mortality rates of all patients with pneumonia
e. Requiring advanced IT standards and minimum cash reserves Correct
Answer-ANS: A, B, D
Value-based purchasing looks at five domain areas of processes of care,
including efficiency of care (cost per case), experience of care (patient
satisfaction measures), and outcomes of care (mortality rates for certain
conditions). Evaluation of evidence to guide clinical care is part of
evidence-based practice. The requirements for IT standards and financial
status are
part of Accountable Care Organization standards


What is the purpose of Level II research? p. 6
a. To define characteristics of interest of groups of patients
b. To demonstrate the effectiveness of an intervention or treatment
c. To describe relationships among characteristics or variables
d. To evaluate the nature of relationships between two variables Correct
Answer-ANS: C
Level II research is concerned with describing the relationships among
characteristics or variables. Level I research is conducted to define the

,characteristics of groups of patients. Level II research evaluates the
nature of the relationships between variables. Level IV
research is conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of interventions
or treatments.

study? p. 6
a. Epidemiological studies
b. Experimental design
c. Qualitative studies
d. Randomized clinical trials Correct Answer-ANS: B
The experimental design is the most appropriate design for a Level III

trials are used for Level IV studies.


What is the purpose of clinical research trials in the spectrum of
translational research? p. 6
a. Adoption of interventions and clinical practices into routine clinical
care
b. Determination of the basis of disease and various treatment options
c. Examination of safety and effectiveness of various interventions
d. Exploration of fundamental mechanisms of biology, disease, or
behavior Correct Answer-ANS: C
Clinical research trials are concerned with determining the safety and
effectiveness of interventions. Adoption of interventions and practices is

, part of clinical implementation. Determination of the basis of disease
and treatment options is part of the preclinical research phase.
Exploration of the fundamental mechanisms of biology, disease, or
behavior is part
of the basic research stage.


Which statement made by a health care provider demonstrates the most
appropriate understanding for the goal of a performance report?
a. "This process allows me to critique the performance of the rest of the
staff."
b. "Most organizations require staff to undergo a performance evaluation
yearly."
c. "It is hard to be personally criticized but that's how we learn to
change."
d. "The comments should help me improve my management skills."
Correct Answer-ANS: D
The goal of the performance report is to provide guidance to staff in the
areas of professional development, mentoring, and leadership
development. A peer review is written by others who perform similar
skills (peers). The remaining options may be true but do not provide
evidence of understanding of the goal of this professional requirement.


Which assessment question would a health care provider ask when
