Answer to Question 1

C
The Joint Commission's standards for hospital accreditation have identified a number of different chapters that can be categorized into two groups: patient-focused functions and organization-focused functions. The identified patient-focused functions are: 1) provision of care, treatment, and services; 2) medication management, 3) ethics, rights, and responsibilities, and 4) surveillance, prevention, and control of infections. Organization-focused functions are: 1) nursing services, 2) medical staff, 3) management of information, 4) management of human resources, 5) management of the environment of care, 6) leadership, and 7) improving organization performance.

Answer to Question 2

C
When the Joint Commission designed their accreditation standards for hospitals, they aligned as many as 50 of these standards with criteria from Medicare's conditions for participation for hospitals and other health care facilities. These criteria set forth by Medicare are requirements for reimbursement for these health care facilities.
