Question

Mark Allen, a Clinical Information Systems Manager at Intermountain Healthcare, must work with others to coordinate communication processes across 22 hospitals and over 300 clinics. A current communication system allows doctors at one hospital to share insights and experiences with doctors at another hospital at Intermountain Healthcare. This is an example of what communication concept?

a. Horizontal communication
b. Informal communication
c. Downward communication
d. Upward communication

Answer 1

b. Informal communication

Step-by-step explanation:

• The right choice is informal communication
• This is because it can be accessed by others when it is an open source workspace and so this information can be sent to doctors and authorities as well as others. Therefore, it is informal communication.
• If only doctors and officials could use the workspace it would be up-ward communication.
