Question

Options

• AEnhancing patient safety
• BAvoiding the duplication of services
• CProhibiting the use of all specialist services
• DA and B only

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  8% (3)
• D
  87% (33)

Explanation

Option D (A and B only) is correct because care coordination genuinely enhances patient safety by ensuring smooth handoffs and reducing medical errors, and it avoids duplication of services by streamlining communication between providers - both are well-established advantages of a coordinated care model.

Option C is a distractor because care coordination does not prohibit specialist services - in fact, the entire point is to integrate multiple providers, including specialists, into a cohesive care plan. Eliminating specialist access would harm patients, not help them.

Options A and B alone are both correct advantages, which makes D the only choice that captures the full picture without the false claim in C.

Memory tip: Think of care coordination as a "traffic conductor" - it directs all the right vehicles (specialists, services) to the right place efficiently and safely, reducing pile-ups (duplication) and accidents (safety risks). It never blocks traffic, so C is always wrong.
