Value Based Purchasing looks at five domain areas of processes of care, including 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 guide clinical care is part of evidence-based practice. The
requirements for IT standards and financial status are part of Accountable Care Organization standards.

primary care provider, inclusion of extended family members in the plan of care, or telephone follow up
by a pharmacist. REF: Transitional Care
3. Which approaches are among those recommended by the Agency for Healthcare Researchand
