Which organization aims to reduce patient risk from harm, decrease healthcare costs, and improve patient outcomes through promoting research and technology applications focused on evidence-based practice (EBP)?

  1. American National Standards Institute (ANSI)

  2. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

  3. International Standard for Organization (ISO)

  4. National Institutes of Health (NIH)

The correct answer is: American National Standards Institute (ANSI)

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) aims to reduce patient risk from harm, decrease healthcare costs, and improve patient outcomes through promoting research and technology applications focused on evidence-based practice (EBP). ANSI facilitates the development of national consensus standards which help to ensure the safety and quality of products and services in healthcare. The other options do not specifically focus on promoting research and technology applications for evidence-based practice in the healthcare sector.
