Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2

Rationale: Outcomes management is a process in which costs and quality are concurrently and retrospectively measured and analyzed in order to improve the outcomes of clinical practice. Quality management uses measures, goals, and management involvement to monitor performance and ensure progress. Risk management is directed at the identification, evaluation, and corrective action against potential risks that could threaten the well-being of the client, staff, or visitors. Disease management is the provision of complete patient care for certain diseases and procedures (e.g., diabetes, transplants).

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3

Rationale: Benchmarking is the comparison of data with other reliable sources internally and externally with the goal of quality improvement. An outcome standard involves the end results of care given. An indicator is a tool used to measure the performance of structure, process, and outcome standards. Process standards are those connected with the actual delivery of care.
