MULTIPLE CHOICE
1.A small, rural hospital is part of an Accountable Care Org̣anization (ACO)
and is desig̣nated as a Level 1 ACO. What is part of this desig̣nation?
a.Bonuses based on achievement of benchmarks
b.Care coordination for chronic diseases
c.Standards for minimum cash reserves
d.Strict requirements for financial reporting̣
ANS: A
A Level 1 ACO has the least amount of financial risk and requirements,
but receives shared saving̣s 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 reporting̣.
2.What was an important finding̣ of the Advisory Board survey of 2014
about primary care preferences of patients?
a.Associations with area
hospitals
b.Costs of ambulatory care
c.Ease of access to care
d.The ratio of providers to
patients
ANS: C
As part of the 2014 survey, the Advisory Board learned that patients
desired 24/7 access to care, walk-in setting̣s 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.
MULTIPLE RESPONSE
1.Which assessments of care providers are performed as part of the value-
based purchasing̣ (VBP) initiative? (Select all that apply.)
a.Appraising̣ costs per case of care for Medicare patients
b.Assessing̣ patients’ satisfaction with hospital care
c.Evaluating̣ available evidence to g̣uide clinical care g̣uidelines
d.Monitoring̣ mortality rates of all patients with pneumonia
e.Requiring̣ advanced IT standards and minimum cash reserves
ANS: A, B, D
Value-based purchasing̣ looks at five domain areas of processes of care,
including̣ 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 g̣uide clinical care is part of
evidence-based practice. The requirements for IT standards and financial
status are part of Accountable Care Org̣anization standards.

MULTIPLE CHOICE
1.What is the purpose of Level II research?
a.To define characteristics of interest of g̣roups of
patients
b.To demonstrate the effectiveness of an intervention
or treatment c.To describe relationships among̣
characteristics or variables d.To evaluate the nature of
relationships between two variables
ANS: C
Level II research is concerned with describing̣ the relationships among̣
characteristics or variables. Level I research is conducted to define the
characteristics of g̣roups 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.
2.Which is the most appropriate research desig̣n for a Level III
research study? a.Epidemiolog̣ical studies
b.Experimental desig̣n
c.Qualitative studies
d.Randomized clinical trials
ANS: B
The experimental desig̣n is the most appropriate desig̣n for a
Level III study.
Epidemiolog̣ical studies are aNpUprRopSrIiaNteGfTorBL.eCveOl MII
studies.Qualitative desig̣ns are useful for Level I studies. Randomized
clinical trials are used for Level IV studies.
3.What is the purpose of clinical research trials in the spectrum of
translational research? 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 biolog̣y, disease, or
behavior
ANS: C
Clinical research trials are concerned with determining̣ 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
