Which of the following best describes what happens when a health care organization receives federal funding for a special health care need?
a. Other groups see the project and write grants wanting similar projects in their geographic area.
b. Participants continue to demand the services so local funding has to be readjusted to continue the care.
c. Research is done to demonstrate whether or not the intervention was successful and should be replicated.
d. When funds cease, so does the health care; therefore, continuity is lacking.
ANS: D
When the funding is no longer provided, the programs cease, which results in lack of continuity of care. Research may be done related to the program, other programs may be developed because of the current program that is being implemented, and participants may encourage local funding to continue. However, the most likely outcome is that the program will end when the funding ends, so there is no continuity in the services that are provided.
