Chapter 1: Interprofessional Collaborative
Practice & Healthcare Systems
1. A primary care clinic transitions into a Level 3
Accountable Care Organization (ACO). Which
financial risk model applies to this specific
designation?
A) One-sided risk only with no penalty for
missing benchmarks
B) Two-sided risk sharing both savings and
financial losses
C) Capitated monthly payments without quality
performance tracking
D) Fee-for-service model with zero bonus
structures
Answer: B) Two-sided risk sharing both savings
and financial losses
, Rationale: Advanced tiers or higher levels of
Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs)
involve two-sided risk models where
providers share in both the financial savings
and the financial losses based on their
performance against benchmark
expenditures and quality metrics.
2. An advanced practice registered nurse (APRN)
wants to track clinical outcomes to improve the
quality of care for diabetic patients. Which
methodology is best for immediate, iterative
clinical quality improvement? A) Randomized
controlled trial (RCT)
B) Double-blind clinical experiment
C) Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle
D) Retrospective cohort study
Answer: C) Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle
Rationale: The PDSA cycle is an established
quality improvement model designed for
rapid, iterative testing of changes in clinical
practice settings to optimize workflows and
patient outcomes efficiently.
3. Which of the following best describes the core
principle of interprofessional collaborative
practice in primary care?
, A) Independent practice without shared
communication or joint consultation B)
Patient-centered care delivered by a
coordinated team utilizing unique professional
expertise
C) Hierarchical decision-making where a single
provider dictates all care components D)
Siloed treatment planning where each
professional works in isolation
Answer: B) Patient-centered care delivered by a
coordinated team utilizing unique professional
expertise
Rationale: Interprofessional collaborative
practice integrates the unique skills and
insights of multiple healthcare disciplines to
create a comprehensive, patient-centered
plan of care.
4. A clinic implements a new telemedicine platform.
During the "Study" phase of the PDSA cycle,
what is the primary focus of the clinical team? A)
Implementing the telemedicine software across
the entire hospital system
B) Analyzing data collected during the pilot
phase to compare outcomes against predictions
, C) Writing the formal policy and procedure
manual for the entire state
D) Designing the initial concept and workflow
map before trying it out
Answer: B) Analyzing data collected during the
pilot phase to compare outcomes against
predictions
Rationale: The "Study" phase of a Plan-
DoStudy-Act cycle involves analyzing the
gathered results, evaluating successes and
failures, and comparing outcomes directly
against original predictions.
5. Under Medicare reimbursement guidelines,
"Incident-to" billing allows an APRN's services to
be billed at 100% of the physician fee schedule
under which specific condition?
A) The APRN sees a brand-new patient for an
initial diagnostic evaluation.
B) The physician is physically present in the
examination room during the entire
encounter. C) The physician is in the office
suite and the encounter reflects an
established plan of care.
D) The patient is being treated for a completely
new acute complaint not previously evaluated.
