THE MAJOR TOPIC OF THIS DATABASE IS TESTING (DRUG TESTING)
STATEMENT OF WORK: TESTING DATABASE PROJECT
HISTORY
A hospital is conducting a double blind test of a new depression drug. The test is expected to take into consideration 20 doctors and about 400 patients to be tested. It is planned that half of the patients will get the new drug and half will get traditional Prozac and neither the doctors nor the patients will know who is getting which drug and at what time. The test is organized such that only two test supervisors will have access to the entire program and possibly know who is getting what.
This project testing will last for about 18 months as it will bring on board all the operations involved in the entire testing project.

Additionally, the database will examine specific physical side effects like rashes, high blood pressure, irregular heart rhythms or kidney problems.
SCOPE
Testing database will effectively manage the entire data for the operations of the hospital. It will track patients’ information from their first screening throughout the interviews. It will keep records of specific side effects like rashes, high blood pressure, irregular heart rhythms and liver or kidney problems. It will also enable doctors to see their own patients’ information as well as keep them off the information of other doctors’ patients. This will enable the doctors to enter blood pressures, blood test results, depression indicators and keep their own notes for each session. It will also enable patients to easily see their own medical profiles and the doctor’s notes as well as restricting them from accessing other details. Also important, the database will allow only the two researchers to see everything, that is, all doctors’ notes, all patients’ information and which drug each patient is given. Lastly, it will enhance security to prevent possible intrusion from other companies.
OBJECTIVES
i. Improve tracking of patients’ information from their first screening throughout the interviews. ii. Fasten the ability of doctors to see their own patients’ medical information iii. Restrict access to all the hospital information to two researchers iv. Secure the hospital
Examination of the types of database systems that are available and how health care facilities utilize these different types of databases is the topic of this report. Giving more detail on the different types of architecture of databases and data structure will follow.
Before putting this to effect, the drug had to be tested to see possible drastic side
The author Joelle Charbonneau wrote the book The Testing. An amusing fact about Joelle is that she taught many students how to sing. In an article Joelle states “My students are a wonderful source of inspiration and continue to teach me life while I teach them about singing” (Charbonneau… New York Times). The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau is about a girl named Cia who is selected to go through a testing program to test her knowledge and see if she can attend a certain college. Cia has many roadblocks, but that does not stop her from doing her best. People should recommend this book because of its connection to the article titled New Surveillance Technology. The message of this book is that knowledge is power, so don’t betray it.
Database is an organized collection of data, references, or pictures that’s stored in the computer. The healthcare database replace paper documents, file folders, and filing cabinets. Its real-time processing that delivers health information. When a name is put in the computer you can see instant results, just as placing orders or results into the EHR and the information is instantly stored there. A database is composed both of data, and of programs or software to enter and manipulate the data. Both data and software are stored within the computers which support the database.
Health IT goal is to improve the quality of care through information systems. On the other hand, HII intends to achieve this objective by formulating information in accessible way and providing a platform to create a practically and accurate medical history for patients’ which that helps of better diagnose and treat patients. HII goal is to have patient’s permission, then let health care providers access the patient’s EHR, for the purpose of individual treatment and health management. EHR is one of the biggest software interface and database that has the ability to share patients PHI and save time, lives and money .By sharing PHI, health care providers can provide fast and efficient services for patient who has medical history so they will
Personal health records (PHRs) have numerous benefits to providers and patients. The information contained in PHR systems range from home measurement reports for blood sugar levels, blood pressure and body temperature, radiology images, laboratory results and family history information (Mandl &Kohane, 2016). The acquired system will facilitate storage of health information in ways that can be comprehended by patients without special assistance from physicians. Moreover, it will provide patients with important information such as interpretation and possible course of action. Patients will take an active role in disease prevention and management. The current system should be maintained because it meets all the qualities of a good PHR system. It has already been tested and proven to function properly to the satisfaction of both patients and doctors.
To track this study, the hospital will need a database. It will need to track patients’ information from their first screening through each of their interviews. In particular, they are looking at whether the patient seems more depressed or less, what their appetite is like, are they sleeping, and what kind of activities they are engaged in, if any. Also, they will be looking for specific physical side effects such as rashes, high blood pressure, irregular heart rhythms, or liver or kidney problems.
Clinging our research onto (Ghazisaeedi, Mohammadzadeh, & Safdari, 2014), electronic health records is a digital version of a patients health record or chart. It is unique in its own way since information is readily available and restricted to a number of users hence maximum security. Information in it is confidential since it contains medical reports of patients which include their progress, reaction towards treatment and a record of treated illnesses. Not only does Electronic health records contain the information or date named above but also tests and results taken on patients over certain duration of time. As a result, this helps in correct procedures and work flow in health institutions.
Electronic Health Record played a major impact in biomedical decision making. It is designed to be used as part of the consultation process. Data cannot be utilized in health care unless they are recorded can facilitate the chart review process. Biomedical used computer data retrieval and analysis techniques to do most of the work. They used HER to monitor the content and generate warnings or advice for the biomedical provider based on a single observation. EHR helps to improve patient safety, legibility of clinical’ preventive services are overdue and reminds clinicians about patient allergies, the correct dosage of drugs. EHR provide problem summary lists of diagnoses, allergies, and surgeries at one glance. Electronic record help in providing
Taking into consideration of rising health care costs, inconsistent in the quality of service being provided, insurance companies being over charged repeat of unnecessary testing, health information records not being properly kept up, or miss placed patient personal information and other data that is not properly being kept in place. One of the things about technology is that make a complicated system less complicated. According to the American Journal of Medicine, electronic medical record systems improve the quality of patient care and decrease medical errors. The electronic medical records processes make it easy to track all information of a patient visit, which include testing, medication and treatment plans. For them, this was a good way to get feedback on the implementation of electronic medical records it ranged from March 2008 until September 2008. In seen the problems that are being incurred due to implementation they can avoid the barriers to or facilitators of the
Implementing EHR takes time and money but one can see a steady growth, more healthcare organizations and providers are now adopting electronic health records system. At present, two thirds of physicians are benifiting from utilizing the system, they are using the system to gain faster access to ptients information and give accurate diagnoses. In the future, the healthcare will be similar to social networking Silverman (2013) , patients will have access to their medical record which will enable them to share it with whom they want to and when they want to. It will also facilitate communication and help maintain physician and doctor relationship. In the future, healthcare professionals, patients, and sponsors of clinical trials will benefit from patients data collected in EHR, because such data will have been collected in the same efficient and regulatory manner.

A healthcare database system takes time and precision to produce accurate information. There are important data types that have to be collected to transfer data to correct fields, tables and forms. When building a healthcare database privacy, compliance, and security risks are very important and should be handled appropriately. There also has to be a workflow or downtime procedure in place for a disaster. What is the recovery plan and how does business continue to thrive? All of these things are important as well as others components. As the presentation continues there will be more elaboration on each of the standards that come with a health care data collection database.
The traditional patient chart is migrating from a paper base to electronic base in 21st century. This is achieved by use of instantly available and secure Electronic Health Records (EHRs) which are real time, patient. The EHRs have evolved from simply being the repositories of vital data, prescription history and treatment histories of patients, to a broader view of patient care stemming from healthcare intelligence and clinical decision support systems. The EHRs today are used to manage practice operations; and share and coordinate information and knowledge with other providers, departments and organizations so as to streamline a patient’s health care and treatment regime.
It was a nice warm day in 1945, Caleb,Nathan,James,Alex. These men were in a secret group called the,”Testing Group”. A very smart man in the group named,James came with an idea so great it is still in use today! This idea was to create a bomb so powerful it could wipe out an entire city. James said, “Let's call this a nuclear bomb”! The other men agreed and a plan to start this secret project was just beginning.
It is important to understand that using electronic health system helps physicians to provide a more accurate diagnosis which helps to reduce medical errors and incorrect diagnosis which make patients very happy knowing that physicians have their best interest at heart (Kudyba, 2010). In electronic health system, information is structured and well organized in a manner that helps to eliminate the time spent searching for information. Moreover, patients are very happy since electronic health system helps to provide privacy and security of patients’ information and data so as to eliminate the problem of leaving patients’ information unattended on papers so that unauthorized personnel can see and
