Mountain View Community Hospital
Case Study: Mountain View Community Hospital
1. Mountain View Community Hospital (MVCH) wants to provide better services than their current deliverables. Therefore, databases can help MVCH reach their goal through making relational applications provide information about clients or patients without having a book or paperwork to search for every time. A centralized database application that is not a conjunction of separate applications makes information fluid and accessible without much of a hassle. For example, when a surgeon at MVCH would want information of a patient who has visited before, the surgeon could run an application on a handheld device that collects information from the database. At the same time, when the doctor is checking the file information on the patient, the nurse or other staff member can also access the information of the patient to know what is wrong with the patient exactly. This was, the efficiency of doctors and other members of the hospital can work in collaboration flawlessly. If the database is managed well, when government inspections are taken, the hospital can provide the required information as soon as possible, keeping the hospital’s integrity to the mark with the government.
2. Database technology can take various forms when it comes to complying with security standards of patients and their information. Firstly, the database can hold information of the patients that cannot be revealed to anyone in the hospital without certain security procedures (such as passwords/pins/usernames etc.) These security features help protect the information of a patient such as the illness information, the health insurance information, their social security information, and also their personal information. Therefore, databases can hold more than one security barrier before information is attained, that way, the hospital complies with HIPPA and the patient knows their information is safe.
