The Database Design Project consists of several assignments that are due in various topics throughout the course. For this project, students will design and develop a database that can be used to compile and report clinical data related to either quality measures or pharmaceutical products and utilization. The proposal is the initial step of this […]

DQ1 Consider the following scenario: You are in a hospital setting that uses an enterprise EHR system with multiple interfaces to other health information platforms. What types of data would be kept in each system and what steps would be needed to allow for analytics to be performed across multiple disparate platforms?   DQ2 Compare […]

DQ1 Consider the idealized cycle of health information in evidence-based medicine where database systems offer information sharing service for doctors, medical researchers, medical institutions, and patients. In this scenario, doctors and researchers can easily query and analyze medical information with much greater speed, security, and ease. What would facilitate achieving this ideal, and assess the […]

DQ1 Utilizing the ideas from parts of your proposed Database Design Proposal and other associated assignments, consider the following scenario: An academic researcher wants to conduct a study on the distribution of various medications over the past 10 years.   1) What steps are required before the researcher can obtain any data?   2) What […]

DQ1 What are the benefits and challenges associated with accessing health data through forms and reports?   DQ2 Consider the CMS core measures and the data used to support the reporting. Which do you believe are the easiest to collect and which do you think are the most difficult to collect?

DQ1 Can you think of ways to validate the information from SQL queries or reports, to assure a level of accuracy in the results? When, if at all, is it better to extract raw data instead of summary information and what are the best ways to present any retrieved information (e.g., tables, diagrams, narrative)?   […]

In this task, you will identify a healthcare problem and develop a PICO question that can be answered using evidence. You will identify a single intervention and then search for five research articles and two non-research articles that support that change practice.   REQUIREMENTS   Your submission must be your original work. No more than […]

In the final phase of the Database Design Proposal assignment, you are required to design a working prototype of the proposal. You will be required to utilize SQLite Database.   The SQLite database is a small, lightweight database application, suited for learning SQL and database concepts, or to just explore some database-related ideas without requiring […]
