Many factors have influenced the shift in health care's focus. What does this shift in focus coincide with?
A) The need for cost control and resource management
B) Providing cost-efficient and case-managed health care
C) Meeting the needs of a younger population
D) The need for cost-effective point-of-care specialty services
Ans: A
Feedback: By necessity the focus of health care has shifted. This shift coincides with a nationwide emphasis on cost control and resource management directed toward providing safe, cost-efficient, and cost-effective health care services to the population as a whole. The other answers are incorrect because the shift in focus does not coincide with providing cost efficient and case-managed health care or the need for cost-effective point-of-care specialty services. Also, our population is getting older, not younger.
