As the IT directоr fоr а lаrge tertiаry care center, yоu were asked to create a database that will collect patient information for the oncology department. You narrowed your database structure to either a relational or a NoSQL database model. The head of oncology asked you to attend a meeting to elaborate on the ability of these models to meet his team’s needs and get their feedback prior to making a final decision. Data elements can be updated in the relational database tables without compromising a user’s ability to access data. NoSQL provides a relatively simple method to manipulate data by end-users of a relational database.
