Question

which process does the surveillance and utilization review subsystem (surs) use to monitor both the use of health services by recipients and the delivery of health services by providers?
○ a. accreditation
○ b. concurrent review
○ c. postpayment review
○ d. quality assurance program

Explanation:

• Accreditation is about an organization meeting certain standards, not real - time monitoring of service use and delivery.
• Concurrent review is a process that monitors the use of health services by recipients and the delivery by providers as the services are being provided.
• Post - payment review occurs after payment has been made, so it is not for real - time monitoring.
• A quality - assurance program is a broader set of activities to ensure quality, not the specific process for real - time monitoring of use and delivery.

Answer:

B. concurrent review
