Question

Collaborative applications use groupware, which allows people to work together, because the programs are primarily designed to
let managers oversee and review workers in order to provide a ranking of the workers.
help health-care workers connect, share information, and make decisions together.
allow people to access the same information to avoid duplication of tests and procedures.
provide assistants, doctors, technicians, and researchers irrelevant data about the patient.

Answer 1

Statements 2 and 3 are correct.

- 2 (help health‑care workers connect, share information, and make decisions together): True — groupware and collaborative platforms are designed to support communication and joint decision‑making among care teams.
- 3 (allow people to access the same information to avoid duplication of tests and procedures): True — shared records and collaborative tools reduce redundant testing and improve coordination.

Statements 1 and 4 are incorrect:
- 1 is false — groupware’s purpose is collaboration, not primarily managerial ranking or oversight.
- 4 is false — good collaborative systems present relevant patient information to appropriate users, not irrelevant data.
