b. Care coordination for chronic diseases
c. Standards for minimum cash reserves
d. Strict requirements for financial reporting Correct Answer-ANS: A

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

evidence of understanding of the goal of this professional requirement.
