Information Lifecycle Management in Evolving Healthcare Databases
نویسندگان
چکیده
Information Lifecycle Management is a must for ever growing healthcare databases. In practice, this problem is further compounded due to the evolving nature of these databases, where the schema itself evolves over time. In this paper, we describe PRLM (Patient Record Lifecycle Management), a tool developed to manage lifecycle of patient visit records of Ramakrishna Mission Sevashrama Hospitals at Vrindaban, and Kankhal. The key features of the PRLM tool are: i) a customizable scheme for information lifecycle management of healthcare databases ii) tool works on evolving databases, and iii) incurs minimal downtime by leveraging underlying RDBMS utilities for data movement.
