In your role as an IT specialist at your hospital, you have been approached by the chair of the pediatric department to assist in the creation of a database for collecting information on a variety of childhood communicable diseases and vaccination status. You propose using a data warehouse, which would pull information from the hospital’s clinical repository. The chairperson is unfamiliar with these terms and asks for clarification. The chairperson states he is familiar with flat file databases and asks about their use for this project. You state that a relational database may be the better choice. Relational databases, by virtue of having less redundancy, protect data integrity better.

As the IT director for a large tertiary care center, you 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. The NoSQL database is not the better choice to meet the oncology division’s needs for ease of growth and ability to aggregate data. Cost and time savings are benefits as well. These benefits outweigh the ease of searching the relational database.

She reports that she sprained her R ankle once in high school but she does not remember exactly what structures were injured.  AT RESPONSE: What relevant objective evaluation processes will you perform to differentiate between these conditions and (possibly) determine its severity? DIRECTIONS: Use a standard format in arranging your response. Bullet your individual text entries. Your entries must be concise, specific, and accurate. Your entries must include correct spelling.  You may (and are encouraged) to use common abbreviations and acronyms linked to anatomical and medical terminology when appropriate.
