Data base design for infectious disease control

J Fedorowicz, W D Haseman

    Journal of Medical Systems
    |January 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study introduces an automated network database design technique for infectious disease control decision support systems (DSS) in Veterans Administration hospitals. The method efficiently creates robust database schemas for monitoring infectious diseases.

    Area of Science:

    • Health Informatics
    • Database Design
    • Infectious Disease Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Effective infectious disease control in healthcare settings is critical.
    • Veterans Administration hospitals require robust systems for disease monitoring.
    • Existing database design methods may not be optimal for complex healthcare data.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present the design of a decision support system (DSS) for infectious disease control.
    • To address the challenge of determining an optimal database schema for such a system.
    • To introduce and evaluate an automated network database design technique.

    Main Methods:

    • Overview of a selected DSS for infectious disease control.
    • Development and application of an automated network database design technique.
    • Designing a database schema for monitoring infectious disease control.

    Main Results:

    • The automated technique successfully designed a database schema for infectious disease control.
    • The technique can generate large databases with complex relationships.
    • The designed data structures maintain useful properties for data integrity and usability.

    Conclusions:

    • An automated network database design technique is effective for creating DSS for infectious disease control.
    • This approach facilitates the development of comprehensive infectious disease monitoring systems.
    • The method supports the creation of scalable and well-structured healthcare databases.
