Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
QIOs monitor access to care and cost of care, and protect the Medicare Trust. The QIO replaced the previous PRO. JCAHO developed quality control standards for hospital and home health nursing. The National Health Quality Improvement Act encourages consumers to become in-formed about their practitioner's practice record and created a national clearinghouse of infor-mation on the malpractice records of providers.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The TQM approach includes increased participation by all staff, process accountability (rather than specialized accountability), and focus on continuous improvement (rather than quality as-surance). Administrative authority is part of the traditional management model.
