,Section A - Healthcare Leadership AND Governance
Q1.
A healthcare system is considering a merger with a regional competitor. Under the
Clayton Act, which factor is most critical for the Federal Trade Commission to evaluate
when assessing the merger's legality?
A. The potential for economies of scale and B. The resulting market concentration and
improved patient outcomes potential for reduced competition
C. The nonprofit status of the acquiring D. The geographic distance between the
organization merging entities
Correct: B - The resulting market concentration and potential for reduced competition
Rationale:The Clayton Act prohibits mergers that substantially lessen competition. The FTC
uses the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) to measure market concentration. While other
factors are considered, the primary legal test is anticompetitive effect. Nonprofit status does
not exempt mergers from antitrust scrutiny.
Q2.
A hospital's board is reviewing a proposal to implement a new service line. Which
governance model best supports the board's strategic oversight while avoiding
micromanagement of operations?
A. Carver Policy Governance model B. Traditional committee-based governance
C. Management-dominated governance D. Ad hoc task force governance
Correct: A - Carver Policy Governance model
Rationale:The Carver Policy Governance model delineates board and management roles:
the board sets ends (strategic goals) and limits (boundaries), while management determines
means. This prevents micromanagement. Traditional committees may blur roles,
management-dominated governance reduces board independence, and ad hoc task forces
lack continuity.
Q3.
A healthcare organization's current ratio is 1.2, quick ratio is 0.8, and days cash on hand i
s
25. Which interpretation best reflects the organization's liquidity position?
A. Strong liquidity with adequate cash B. Adequate short-term liquidity but potential
reserves cash flow concerns
Page 3
, Section A - Healthcare Leadership AND Governance
C. Severe liquidity crisis requiring immediate D. Excessive liquidity indicating inefficient
action asset use
Correct: B - Adequate short-term liquidity but potential cash flow concerns
Rationale:A current ratio above 1 indicates current assets exceed current liabilities, but the
quick ratio below 1 suggests reliance on inventory. Days cash on hand of 25 is below the
recommended 30-60 days, indicating potential cash flow issues. The organization is not in
crisis but should monitor liquidity.
Q4.
A hospital is implementing a Lean Six Sigma project to reduce emergency department
wait times. After defining the problem and measuring baseline performance, which phase
involves identifying root causes of delays?
A. Control B. Improve
C. Analyze D. Define
Correct: C - Analyze
Rationale:DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) is the standard Lean Six
Sigma methodology. The Analyze phase uses tools like fishbone diagrams and hypothesis
testing to identify root causes. Define sets scope, Measure collects data, Improve implements
solutions, Control sustains gains.
Q5.
Under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA), if a hospital's on-call
specialist refuses to see a patient with an emergency medical condition, which action is
the hospital required to take?
A. Transfer the patient to a facility with B. Document the refusal and continue
available specialists stabilizing treatment
C. Report the specialist to the state medical D. Discharge the patient with follow-up
board instructions
Correct: B - Document the refusal and continue stabilizing treatment
Rationale:EMTALA requires hospitals to provide stabilizing treatment for emergency medical
conditions regardless of specialist availability. If a specialist refuses, the hospital must
continue stabilizing care and document the refusal. Transfer is only appropriate if benefits
outweigh risks and the patient is stable. Reporting is not an immediate requirement.
