Answer to Question 1

A
The Hospital Quality Initiative

Answer to Question 2

D
In the matrix organizational chart structure is less important and the workforce roles and reporting relationships are based on the project or task to be accomplished, rather than on a rigid hierarchy. Levels of responsibility, hierarchy, and reporting lines are more important in centralized and decentralized organizational structures.
