Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, D, F
Rather than allocating resources, resources will be leveraged to influence the larger health system. Rather than collecting and analyzing health data, they now are creating integrated health information systems. Rather than transaction-based relationships, they now encourage partnerships and strategic alliances.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, F
Because costs were contained by both the federal programs and insurance companies, the providers had a strong incentive to undertreat and underuse health resources. The public feared that the quality of care being provided was less to keep costs as low as possible.
