Accreditation is an example of a voluntary approach to quality control used primarily for institu-tions.

Credential-ing is the formal recognition of a person as a professional with technical competence, or of an agency that has met minimum standards of performance.

ANS: B
The Institute of Medicine states that quality health care is safeavoiding injuries to patients from the care that is intended to help them. The other parts of this definition are effective, time-ly, client centered, equitable, and efficient.
