An architecture for the medical information system called Mental Health Care-Patient Management System (MHC-PMC) to maintain information about patients will need to be developed. The system will be used to give staff information on the patients suffering from mental health problems and their treatments. There are different architecture patterns which can be used to develop the system and there are reasons to use one pattern over another. There is the possibility that any of the architecture patterns used can have short comings associated with it. The architecture could be implemented in hardware and software to meet the needs of developing the new system.
When developing an architecture for a system, there are different patterns which can be used depending on the needs of the customer and the requirements of the new system. One of the popular architectures is the client-server architecture. According to Sommerville (2011), the client-server architecture functionality of the system is broken into services with the services being delivered from a server and the clients are the users of the services, (p. 161). An example of client-server is an employee logging into Active Directory network. The computer they are logging into is the client, and then it pulls information from the server to give that employee the rights and access to the network they need for their job duty. The client-server pattern is used when need to share data in databases over a range of locations.
There are reasons for going with the client-server architecture for the new MHC-PMC because of the requirements. The MHC-PMC will need to be accessed by different clinics in the area. One of the reasons for using the client-server is to access shared database from ...

...ill need to have a server operation system to house and configure the MHC-PMS software. On the client side, employees will need a computer with an operating system and an interface with the MHC-PMS. Other hardware beside the computer would be network cables to connect to router and the router will need to have secure connection to the central database. Once the hardware is setup and configured, employees will use their computers in the facilities to log into the server, and then log into the MHC-PMS software to access the information for their position. One login will be for the server to again access to network resources such as network drives and network printers and a second login will be needed to get into MHC-PMS with the user controls provided by management.

There are a variety of health settings that provide patient health services. With the use of health services there has to be some type of health information exchange or system that will enable users to exchange data. Today there are networks that do this. Some of these networks are Community health information network (CHIN), Regional health information network (RHINO), National Health Information Network (NHIN) and Health Information technology for economic and clinical health act (HITECH Act). The purpose of this paper is to identify these networks, discuss the relationship among each other and lastly, explain their relationship to formation of a patient-centered management system and electronic health records (EHRs).
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).
The type of structure would include allowing customers to access their accounts through online services, as well as allowing the employees to access the customers accounts from point of sale systems on the showroom floor, as well as from behind front desks. In the back, there will be the office with servers and networking implements. There will be multiple sites, all with access to the servers which contain the customers account
Currently, we use the electronic health record system called Computer Programs and Systems, Inc. (CPSI). CPSI is “a l...
The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act has provided PMH a great opportunity. The HITECH Act has provided funding for hospitals who are interested in implementing telehealth technology, that will allow patients and providers to connect with each other by using state of the art technology. Telehealth offer preventative and specialized patient care to many of the nation’s 62 million rural residents where hospitals are often lacking (2017). This type of technology is important for hospitals such as PMH, because the rising healthcare costs will make personal access to health care even more difficult. Telehealth technology will allow PMH to connect with other providers remotely and relieve some of the workload
Health information management involves the practice of maintaining and taking care of health records in hospitals, health insurance companies and other health institutions, by the use of electronic means (McWay 176). Storage of medical information is carried out by health information management and HIT professionals using information systems that suit the needs of these institutions. This paper answers four major questions concerning health information systems.
Early computer-based systems were intended to replace the paper-based record, and were designed to collect, store, organize, and retrieve data related to a patients care. The goal that was set by these early systems, were to provide an increased quality of patient care, which is the same goal as todays EHR (Englebardt, Nelson, 2002).
Therefore, the main aim of the dissertation will be to provide the solution to understand the present system at the hospital and present a model that modifies by itself with the input of new data. This is planned to
Identify three criteria you consider to be the most important in a quality system. Briefly discuss your rationale for selecting these criteria.
Our clinical knowledge is expanding. The researcher has first proposed the concept of electronic health record (EHR) to gather and analyze every clinical outcome. By late 1990s computer-based patient record (CPR) replaced with the term EHR (Wager et al., 2009). The process of implementing EHR occurs over a number of years. An electronic record of health-related information on individual conforms interoperability standards can create, manage and consult with the authorized health professionals (Wager et al., 2009). This information technology system electronically gather and store patient data, and supply that information as needed to the healthcare professionals, as well as a caregiver can also access, edit or input new information; this system function as a decision support tools to the health professionals. Every healthcare organization is increasingly aware of the importance of adopting EHR to improve the patient satisfaction, safety, and lowering the medical costs.
Enterprise architecture can be used in a diverse number of ways. It can be used to describe a certain business practice in an organization and the aspects or elements of that specific business practice under description. The environment under which companies or business organizations operate in is always in constant change. This means that the managers should always introduce new enterprise solutions, which can directly contribute to the linkage to the measures of improvement of business practices.
With these hardware and software capabilities I am certain our business would prosper in managing computers for this field. We have met most of their needs and the items chosen will make their ability to work that much better. The medics will be more organized, efficient, and precise in all their practices.

computer architecture Computer architecture covers the design of system software, such as the operating system (the program that controls the computer), as well as referring to the combination of hardware and basic software that links the machines on a computer network. Computer architecture refers to an entire structure and to the details needed to make it functional. Thus, computer architecture covers computer systems, microprocessors, circuits, and system programs. Typically the term does not refer to application programs, such as spreadsheets or word processing, which are required to perform a task but not to make the system run.
