, SECTION 1: Interprofessional Collaborative Practice
Question 1

Level 1 ACO. What is a characteristic of this designation?
A. Bonuses based on achievement of benchmarks
B. Track and report quality measures only
C. Standards for minimum cash reserves
D. Strict requirements for financial reporting

receives shared savings bonuses based on achievement of benchmarks for quality measures and
expenditures. Care coordination and minimum cash reserves standards are part of Level 2 ACO
requirements. Level 3 ACOs have strict requirements for financial reporting and assume more
risk.
Question 2

settings, and the ability to be seen within 30 minutes. What was the PRIMARY reason these
preferences were NOT part of the survey results that shaped healthcare delivery changes?
A. Association with area hospitals made these options unavailable
B. High costs of ambulatory care prevented implementation
C. These preferences were close to home, not directly related to primary care transformation
D. The ratio of providers to patients was insufficient
ANSWER: C
RATIONALE: The Advisory Board 2014 survey revealed that patients desired 24/7 access to
care, walk-in settings, and the ability to be seen within 30 minutes, which are factors related to
convenience and proximity to home. However, these preferences were not the primary drivers of
healthcare transformation in the survey results. The focus was more on associations with
hospitals, costs of care, and provider-patient ratios as they relate to primary care redesign.
Question 3
Which assessments are performed as part of the value-based purchasing (VBP) initiative? (Select
all that apply)
A. Appraising costs per case of care for Medicare patients
