Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, D, E
Fragmented services, cost inefficiencies, and poor health outcomes may be some of the shortcomings seen in health care without the proper model in place to guide the health care delivery system.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Care coordination allows all health care/community services to work together so that patient and family needs can be met. Care coordination does not focus on cost methods. Cost coordination does not exist just for children or the uninsured. No one service is forced to work with another service.
