These groups manage care delivered by multiple providers and facilities; the ______ generally provides the full spectrum of care from physician services to skilled nursing facility services.

• A. Integrated Delivery Systems
• B. IPO
• C. GPWW
• D. None of these are correct.

Answer: (A)

Coordinated care across multiple providers and settings that covers the full spectrum—from physician services to skilled nursing facilities—is provided by Integrated Delivery Systems. IDSs align physicians, hospitals, and post-acute care under one organizational and financing approach, ensuring seamless care transitions and a complete continuum of services. An IPO is about raising capital, not delivering care; Group Practice Without Walls is a primary-care organizational model that doesn’t inherently span the full post-acute continuum; and “none of these” isn’t accurate because the integrated delivery model fits this description.
