Answer to Question 1

D
The World Health Organization (WHO) has been a leading advocate of quality health care delivery, as
evidenced by its three primary goals for what good health care should do. The Institute of Medicine
(IOM) is best known for its quality data reports such as To Err Is Human (IOM, 1999), and the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention is a leading infection and disease agency in the United States. The
Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality is another quality-based organization and produces
reports such as the National Healthcare Disparities Report (NHDR).

Answer to Question 2

C
The three simple elements of health care systems are structure (resources or structures required to
deliver health care), process (quality activities, procedures, and tasks performed to deliver quality
health care), and outcome (the results of good health care delivery).
