Answer to Question 1

A
Budget planning involves developing a formal quantitative plan for acquiring and distributing funds
over a specified period of time by utilizing some means of cost prediction. Tools that are useful to this
process are high-low cost estimation (good for measuring the cost of items that tend to remain
relatively constant), regression analysis (examines all available cost information over a period of
time), and break-even analysis (helps to predict the volume of services that must be provided for the
overhead of these services to be evenly matched by the payment received without either a profit or
loss).

Answer to Question 2

C
The six interventions developed by the IHI as part of their 100,000 Lives Campaign to reduce patient
morbidity and mortality are: preventing ventilator-assisted pneumonia, deploying rapid response
teams, promoting medication reconciliation, improving the care of patients with myocardial infarction,
preventing central line infections, and preventing surgical site infections.
