Answer to Question 1

An ACO provides financial rewards for good performance based on comprehensive quality and spending measurement and monitoring. In doing so, the ACO holds the care providers accountable for the cost and quality of care delivered to Medicare patients or other defined populations.

Answer to Question 2

Risk management involves looking for ways to minimize potential injuries in the facility, as well as responding promptly and appropriately when injuries occur, and planning for potential liability resulting from the injuries. A good risk management program not only addresses injuries and accidents that have happened, but also proactively identifies areas that could result in an injury and provides the education and training to employees to circumvent possible injuries or accidents.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
