Answer to Question 1

D
Discharge planning begins the moment a patient is admitted to a health care facility. The day of discharge, when the insurance provider has been identified, and when the order is written are too late.

Answer to Question 2

C
An ACO works to make sure that patients receive the right care at the right time, without dupli-cation of services or incidence of medical errors. Accountable care organizations (ACO) were developed to coordinate medical care by primary care and specialty physicians, hospitals, and other health care providers with the goal of providing high-quality coordinated care. The Joint Commission (2012) requires health care organizations to determine how well an organization meets patient needs and expectations and accredits health care organizations. Managed care fo-cuses on health promotion. The National Priorities Partnership is a group of 51 organizations from a variety of health care disciplines that joined together to work toward transforming health care by focusing on eight national priorities.
