What are the three major cornerstones of health care delivery?

Rationale:

A. For integration to create negotiating power: This option describes a strategic reason for healthcare integration but does not directly relate to the need for long-term care (LTC).

B. For continuity of care after hospitalization: Long-term care (LTC) is often needed when

individuals require ongoing support with activities of daily living or medical care after being discharged from a hospital, rehabilitation facility, or other acute care setting.

C. For physicians maintain their independence and autonomy: This option describes a potential motive for physicians but does not directly relate to the need for long-term care.

D. For joint owners to diversify into new services: This option describes a business strategy but does not directly relate to the need for long-term care.

Rationale:

A. Car model: The "Car model" is not a recognized model of Health Maintenance Organization (HMO). It seems to be a distractor in this context.

B. Network model: In the network model, the HMO contracts with multiple independent medical groups or practices to provide healthcare services to its members.

C. Group model: In the group model, the HMO contracts with a single medical group, which employs physicians and provides healthcare services to HMO members.

D. Staff model: In the staff model, the HMO directly employs physicians and other healthcare providers who deliver services to its members.
