year. Which change would cause the country to have a trade surplus the
following year, assuming everything else remains the same?
A. The country increases its exports by $30 billion.
B. The country increases its imports by $30 billion.
C. The country decreases its exports by $10 billion.
D. The country decreases its imports by $10 billion.

D) The nation reduces its exports by $30 billion, the change would result in a trade deficit the following year for the country that had a trade surplus of $20 billion in one year.

When imports rise faster than exports, a trade deficit occurs. If the country increases its exports by $30 billion, decreases its imports by $10 billion, or increases its imports by $10 billion, it cannot have a trade deficit.

As a result, the country will only experience a trade deficit if its exports decrease by $30 billion while the rest of its exports remain unchanged.

A country has a trade deficit when its imports exceed its exports over a given time period. A negative balance of trade (BOT) is another name for this situation. There are several ways to determine the balance, including: goods (also called " merchandise”), goods and services, and services and goods.

>> [Background Music] Good communication will enable lower costs, better patient care, and better patient outcomes. And technology can facilitate that. Hi. I'm Mark Allen. I'm the Clinical Information Systems Manager for the Utah South region and the rural region for Intermountain Healthcare. Intermountain is known internationally for its ability to be able to use clinical data to improve patient outcomes. So, we have 22 hospitals across the state of Utah, one in Idaho, and we have over 300 clinics across the enterprise.

>> Communication is very important. And one of the key things to keeping everybody on the same page is to develop a good communication plan and to repeat a consistent message often and frequently. Hi, I'm Fritz Crone [phonetic]. I'm the Regional Director for Quality at Intermountain Healthcare in the urban south region here. And one of the most exciting things I get to do every day is to work with our teams and accelerate bringing best practices to our patients. Every region supplies a local representative. We are very fortunate in our ability to engage physicians and nurse leaders who are willing to spend their time participating in the committee meetings and networking with their peers throughout the system. And we always recognize that it is a challenge to get the word out. And we do that through meetings. We do that through talking points. We'll put flyers on bulletin boards. There's also some more formal documents called care process guidelines. And those are heavily researched documents that are available on the website. So, we use a combination of methods to communicate what are goals are for that year. Part of our clinical program goals almost always involves patient education because in addition to the providers, the physicians, and the nurses and the laboratory support, as patients, we are also very accountable for our health outcomes. We have standardized education. And we, that allows us to deliver a consistent message. So, when you're discharged from one facility, we have a standardized brochure and teaching information that's given. And then, again, that information is available throughout the system.

>> Telehealth services is really a key that we've identified and invested in in Intermountain healthcare. We have currently 26 projects across the enterprise where we're trying to find technical solutions to be able to provide better care to the patients. We have Tele-critical care. We have Tele-psych. We have a variety of other telehealth initiatives that we're trying to initiate to provide care at the rural facilities that can't afford, you know, a neonatologist or a hospitalist. In addition, the information that we have within our system is also provided to our home health division. So, as our home health nurses are visiting patients at home, they're going to have the full history and physical of the patient and the care that they received in the hospital to be able to provide better patient care to the patients that they visit.
