Introduction
According to the given task, it is expected to create the database for the management of the company. Such organization as dentist clinic has chosen for development. In order to collect information, many sources with such kinds of clinics were investigated and used for this purpose. The main ones are http://www.medtorgrf.ru and http://www.mosdental.ru, in which necessary medicines, instruments and main procedures were revealed for the implementation of dental activity. Besides, it is necessary to identify the types of systems to which the designed database belongs. As a result of the research, the transaction processing system (TPS) is the most suitable for the implemented functions of the data bank for the following reasons. The first is the relation of this system to the operational level. Laudon and Laudon (2006) indicate that the systems of this level allows helping the managers to monitor the activity of the company and business operations associated with earnings, sales, paysheet and material flows in the plant while other systems of such levels as management and strategic focus on controlling, reporting and prognosis of sales for future, considering environmental factors. The second reason is the operation’s principle of TPS is similar to the developed database. Chaffey et al., (2003) confirm that the system saves the day-to-day bargains during the conducting of the business, and pay for products and services is provided as an example of such a system. The last reason is the necessity of TPS for manages to track the condition of inner operations and interaction of the company with exterior environment. Authors add that the TPS is “the major producer of information for the other types of systems” (p. 44).
System Benefits and Scalability
Chaffey et al., (2003) identifies the following components of the transaction processing system. The first one is the data entry. Usually it is implemented with the help of bar-code techniques and magnetic charts. In the database of dentist clinic, the information is entered using a computer keyboard and mouse. The second one is the storage and search for information in the database management system (DBMS). Microsoft Access allows saving data after input, change them as needed and find any available information. The third component is the admittance to data throw the reporting online and offline, where the last one saves records in another system for deep analyzing. In the database of dentist clinic, Microsoft Access is able to create the reports based on the queries, moderate them in a proper way and provide to managers for subsequent monitoring.
One of the demands in healthcare today is to have the ability to allow healthcare organizations to exchange patient health related information with other healthcare organizations. This was made possible by the creation of the electronic health record (EHR), electronic medical record (EMR) and personal health record (PHR). The EHR, PHR and the EMR allowed for patient’s paper medical charts into transformed into electronic charts. This allowed for a better way to organize the information that was contained the paper medical chart. The health organization began to realize they could use these electronic charts for a better way to care and share patient health related information. However, as the transmission of data continued, the need for standards developed to insure the interoperability of these healthcare systems. Two of the standards that were created in order to help with the electronic transmission of medical data are the Continuity of Care Record (CCR) and the Continuity of Care Document (CCD).
CAD/CAM is an abbreviation for computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing and involves the use of computer systems to assist in the creation, modification, analysis or optimism of a design. Its primary purpose is to create a faster production process as well as improve the quality of design. CAD/CAM is currently employed in many fields such as shipbuilding, aerospace, architecture, automotive and prosthetics (including maxillofacial prosthetics and dentistry). The concept of CAD/CAM in the field of dentistry is not a new one having been around the early 1970’s when the visionary, Dr Werner Mormann developed CEREC1. Since its inception CAD/CAM has been increasingly employed to aid the production of dental appliances, indeed nearly 50-58% of all indirect restorations today are, in part or entirely manufactured by a CAD/CAM system1. Due to the continued uptake of CAD/CAM in dentistry, it is predicted, that by the year 2015 a further 15% of dental appliances will be produced by this system, the application of CAD/CAM is aiding new areas of production such as partial frameworks, orthodontic appliances and custom implant abutments1.
There are customer tools and transaction processing, network applications and database so that transaction of data is reliable and secure.
Electronic Medical Records or Computerized Medical Record System what is it and what are the advantages along with the disadvantages of using this system? That is what we will discuss in this paper.
It is commercial software that enables integration of transaction oriented data and process throughout an organization. It comprises of several modules which enables the cross-organization integration based on the transaction data and business process. It is not a distinct object but acts as an umbrella by covering the whole business process. It supports the entire organization at various levels by providing with information in a highly integrated manner.
For instance, hospital information systems, which consist of two types (administrative information systems and clinical information system), play a major role in the operations of such organizations. In the case of clinical information systems, they have allowed hospitals the automatization of their clinical data management, while increasing the quality of care, and at the same time, enhancing and reducing cost and expenses. Two examples of patient care technologies that have improved patient care in the clinical setting are the electronic health record system and robotic
The application of Electronic Dental Records is being evolving for a while now. In its beginnings, it was merely paper records being faxed over between one or more entities. Today, we count with Electronic Dental Records management systems that are powerful enough to even store complete sets of radiographies and Cone Beam Computer Tomography’s (CBCTs). Some applications of these systems include but are not limited to the reading, edition, and storage of patient’s information, dental needs, history of dental treatments, etc. An Electronic Dental Records system's ability to capture detailed clinical information in a highly structured manner can enable analysis for quality assessment, identification of areas for improvement, and the design of
practicing. Even though it is not mandatory, many general dentists choose to complete an internship or residency focusing on specific needs of dental care after they have received their dental degree. All nine dental specialties require dentists to complete additional training before practicing that specialty. Their training is usually a 2 to 4-year residency in a program related to their specialty. Dentists who aspire to teach or do research full time usually spend an additional 2 to 5 years in advanced dental training. There are three different degrees you can receive after you complete dental school; Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS), Doctor of Dental Medicine (DDM), and Doctor of Medical Dentistry (DMD). Dentists must be licensed in the state
In order to store something, data should be collected first. Conducting interviews and distributing questionnaires are the most common and simplest techniques in collecting data. These techniques are useful in investigating a specific subject especially if there are no original data available. This is generally known as the collection of primary data. Before data can be used, data needs to be transformed to fit the present needs (TimeWeb, 2010). Checking for errors, making critical summary and accurate analysis is necessary in gathering and reporting data because a simple mistake in the process could lead to the distortion of the meaning and value of its original form. It is imperative to process the data carefully since this data becomes information needed to be stored. The main purpose of information storage system is to preserve the information gathered used for making plans and decisions at present and in the future.
The SDLC is a problem-solving process which through a series of steps helps produce a new computer information system. Each step from system planning, system analysis, system design, system implementation and to system maintenance conducted in sequence should provide the answers to a problem or opportunity (Farah, 2006). An example may be a user which employs an order system may sense a problem with that system because customers may complain that orders are late or being lost. The SDLC through the steps previously mentioned would help correct and improve the system and operations of the order entry process (real life situation at KCI Medical Canada-Vancouver office). In this example, the system planning phase determines whether a new order entry process should be developed. The system analysis phase helps the analyst study the current system in place (order taken over the phone and input to an excel spreadsheet) and determines what shortcomings the new system must overcome (why are orders lost or delivery of product so late?) to ensure smooth operations within the order entry process. During the next stage, system design, the analyst specifies how the new system will operate. This is followed by the implementation phase where programs are acquired and tested to accommodate the new order entry process. Finally the system maintenance phase reviews the new order entry system to ensure smooth operations and modifications as needed.
Also it tracks the businesses resources such as (cash, raw materials, the production capacity, and the status of business commitments: orders, purchase orders, and payroll. This system is made by applications that share data across the various and different departments in the company.
Transaction processing is often the core of most major activities in organisations and the systems that collect this data often support other systems that might be decision support, management information or executive information.
The data for the DSS database comes from several sources. The user may enter data into the database, or data may be retrieved from the MIS database or the transaction processing system stored data. In addi...
Electronic Medical Record (EMR) provides convenient access to the staff of the clinic. It also provides quick access to patients’ information each time staff wants to retrieve the data. Other than that, the system could help in solving record movement problems and at the same time improve the quality of the process. In terms of security, using the EMR is more secured compared to manual system as it can be restricted to certain user for example to medical officer and receptionist. The user needs to login into the system so that it can be easily monitored and identified who uses the system. As for the b...
Nowadays with the implementation of new emerging technologies, the way businesses keep this financial information has become computerised. At the moment businesses use computers with a computerised accounting system in order to perform many other new activities than what they were able to do in the past. Businesses can access financial information from different department in the organisation, access to the information through computers and find financial data very fast, being more efficient.
