Sherif M. Badr . Secured Hierarchically Dependent Distributed Database Model Applied to Hospitals Information System (HIS). International Journal of Computer Applications. 66, 22 ( March 2013), 23-28. DOI=10.5120/11248-6280
The quality of Electronic Patient Record (EPR) became a critical factor in the decision making process, with a corresponding need for error management through automated data quality assurance practices. Although Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) have become a mature technology over the past few years and has been widely implemented in several developed hospital, evaluation of PACS success is still a major problem for healthcare organizations especially in developing countries. For that reason it was the aim of this research to introduce design considerations and solutions regarding the implementation and evaluation of a modern (EPR) within an already operating hospital environment. The research proposed a strategy to smoothly transform an already existing hospital to a fully digital one and to integrate all existing medical equipments to a central archiving system with the ability to upgrade and expand as well as to connect with the other hospitals and health care organizations. With the development of distributed computing, data security becomes more important in a distributed database. This work introduces a solution of this problem. With the analysis of existing system, we get the required and set up a data model for the complete health system. Finally we suggest algorithms for the proposed model.
