, Question 1
A state legislature is considering a bill to expand Medicaid eligibility under the
ACA. Which of the following best describes the primary economic rationale
for expansion from the perspective of a safety-net hospital?
A. Expansion reduces uncompensated care costs by shifting previously
uninsured patients to Medicaid coverage, improving hospital financial
margins.
B. Expansion increases direct federal payments to hospitals for
infrastructure improvements.
C. Expansion mandates higher reimbursement rates from commercial
insurers to offset Medicaid shortfalls.
D. Expansion eliminates the need for hospitals to participate in
value-based purchasing programs.
Correct Answer: A - Expansion reduces uncompensated care
costs by shifting previously uninsured patients to Medicaid
coverage, improving hospital financial margins.
RATIONALE
Medicaid expansion primarily reduces uncompensated care by
providing coverage to low-income adults, thus decreasing charity care
and bad debt. It does not directly increase federal infrastructure
payments, mandate commercial rate increases, or exempt hospitals
from value-based programs.
Question 2
A healthcare system is evaluating a capital investment in a new MRI unit. The
projected cash flows are $500,000 annually for 5 years, with an initial outlay of
$1.8 million. Using a discount rate of 8%, what is the approximate net present
value (NPV)?
A. $197,000
B. $250,000
Page 2
, C. $300,000
D. $150,000
Correct Answer: A - $197,000
RATIONALE
NPV = -1,800,000 + 500,000 × PVIFA(8%,5). PVIFA = (1 -
(1.08)^-5)/0.08 3.9927. So 500,000 × 3.9927 = 1,996,350. NPV
196,350, closest to $197,000. Other options misestimate the annuity
factor or ignore discounting.
Question 3
In the context of the IHI Triple Aim, which of the following best exemplifies a
population health management strategy that simultaneously addresses all three
aims?
A. Implementing a community-based diabetes prevention program that
reduces emergency department visits and improves glycemic control.
B. Investing in a new electronic health record system to increase
documentation efficiency.
C. Negotiating higher reimbursement rates with commercial payers to
boost revenue.
D. Expanding a hospital's marketing campaign to attract more
out-of-network patients.
Correct Answer: A - Implementing a community-based diabetes
prevention program that reduces emergency department visits
and improves glycemic control.
RATIONALE
The Triple Aim seeks better care, better health, and lower costs. A
diabetes prevention program improves population health, enhances
care quality, and reduces costs by avoiding ED visits. EHR
implementation, rate negotiation, and marketing do not directly
address all three aims.

, Question 4
A hospital's ethics committee is reviewing a case where a patient lacks
decision-making capacity and has no advance directive. The patient's estranged
adult child requests aggressive treatment, while the clinical team believes it is
futile. According to current ethical and legal standards, which principle should
guide the committee's recommendation?
A. The principle of substituted judgment, using the patient's known
values and preferences.
B. The principle of autonomy, deferring to the family's request.
C. The principle of beneficence, allowing the physician to decide
unilaterally.
D. The principle of justice, allocating resources based on societal benefit.
Correct Answer: A - The principle of substituted judgment, using
the patient's known values and preferences.
RATIONALE
When a patient lacks capacity and has no advance directive, the
standard is substituted judgment-deciding as the patient would have
decided based on their values. Autonomy is not absolute without
capacity; beneficence does not permit unilateral physician decisions;
justice concerns fair resource distribution, not individual treatment
decisions.
Question 5
A healthcare organization is implementing a new clinical decision support
(CDS) system. Which of the following metrics is most appropriate for
evaluating the system's impact on patient safety?
A. Reduction in adverse drug events (ADEs) per 1,000 patient days.
B. Increase in clinician satisfaction scores.
C. Number of CDS alerts triggered per provider.
D. Percentage of patients with a completed advance directive.
