Continuous integrationresolves delays by ensuring that developers frequently merge their code into ashared repository, enabling earlier detection of issues and smoother collaboration.

Collaborationis fundamentally aboutfocusing on the organization's goals, ensuring that different teams and individuals work together toward shared outcomes.

The importance of data analytics in this context is to improve decision-making based on patient data analysis (B). The ITIL 4 Specialist: Create, Deliver and Support guide (Section 3.2.4) states: "Data analytics enables organizations to derive actionable insights from data, enhancing decision-making processes by identifying trends, patterns, and opportunities for service improvement." In a healthcare setting, this means using patient data to optimize treatment plans, resource allocation, and service delivery, aligning with ITIL's focus on value creation. Option A is a narrow operational task; option C is a subset of analysis; and option D addresses workflow issues rather than the primary goal. The guide further notes that "effective use of analytics supports the continual improvement of services by informing strategic and operational decisions." Reference: ITIL 4 Specialist: Create, Deliver and Support, Section 3.2.4 - Data Analytics in Service Management.

Artificial intelligenceis commonly applied to process and interpret unstructured text, enabling tasks such as generating summaries, translations, and extracting meaningful insights.

The best approach is to review and automate filtering of operations data (D). The ITIL 4 Specialist: Create, Deliver and Support guide (Section 4.2.4) states: "Automation of event filtering reduces human error by prioritizing critical events, ensuring operators focus on what matters and preventing breaches of service level targets." This leverages technology to address misses, unlike option A (costly staffing), option B (insufficient if overwhelmed), or option C (avoiding the root cause). The guide notes: "Effective event management relies on automated tools to enhance reliability." Reference: ITIL 4 Specialist: Create, Deliver and Support, Section 4.2.4 - Event Management Automation.
