primary care 38 CORRECTLY ANSWERED
QUESTIONS LATEST UPDATE
1). A small, rural hospital is part of an accountable care organization (aco) and is designated
as a level 1 aco. what is part of this designation?
Ans: Bonuses based on achievement of benchmarks
A Level 1 ACO has the least amount of financial risk and requirements, but receives
shared savings 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 reporting.
2). What was an important finding of the advisory board survey of 2014 about primary care
preferences of patients?
Ans: Ease of access to care
As part of the 2014 survey, the Advisory Board learned that patients desired 24/7 access
to
care, walk-in settings 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
3). Which assessments of care providers are performed as part of the value-based purchasing
(vbp) initiative? (select all that apply.)
Ans: 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.
4). What is the purpose of level ii research?
Ans: To describe relationships among characteristics or variables
Level II research is concerned with describing the relationships among characteristics or

, variables. Level I research is conducted to define the characteristics of groups of patients.
Level III research evaluates the nature of the relationships between variables. Level IV
research is conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of interventions or treatments.
5). Which is the most appropriate research design for a level iii research study?
Ans: Experimental design
Level I is Qualitative
Level II is Epidemiological
Level 4 is Qualitative
6). What is the purpose of clinical research trials in the spectrum of translational research?
Ans: Examination of safety and effectiveness of various interventions
7). Which statement made by a health care provider demonstrates the most appropriate

9). To reduce adverse events associated with care transitions, the centers for medicare and
medicaid service have implemented which policy?
Ans: Reduction of payments for patients readmitted within 30 days after discharge
10). According to multiple research studies, which intervention has resulted in lower costs and
fewer rehospitalizations in high-risk older patients?
Ans: Coordination of post hospital care by advanced practice health care providers
11). Which advantages are provided to the chronically ill patient by personal electronic
