Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, F
The report Leadership by Example concluded that there is a lack of consistent performance measurement, the information is not useful, computerized clinical data are missing, and the approach to gathering data is not systematic. The federal government is the largest purchaser of care because it gives direct care to specified groups and requires conforming to regulations for those accepting Medicare and Medicaid funds. Sponsored research, education, and training also have an impact. The report concluded that the federal government must accept leadership both by example and by coordinating improvement in health care quality.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
In 1999, the House and Senate passed bills that focused on client rights in the managed care environment, but more needs to be done to improve client rights. Client rights issues that are vitally important are information disclosure, physician and provider choice, direct access to specialists, reimbursement for emergency care, and reimbursement denial. As has been discussed, there is still no national patients' bill of rights.
