Question:
You are the IT director of a large tertiary care center. You have been asked to create a database that will collect patient demographic, clinical, and billing information for the oncology department. Your first task is to determine what type of database structure will best meet the needs of the department and the organization. You have narrowed your database structure options to a relational or NoSQL database model. Now, the head of oncology has asked you to attend a meeting to delve deeper into the capabilities of each of these models and how each would meet the needs of your department. He would like me to explain each model so he can give you feedback before making the final decision. To prepare for this meeting, answer the following questions in detail using your own words.
- Write an argument for why a NoSQL database model would best meet the needs of the oncology department. Include details about the capabilities of a NoSQL database model and how it works.
- Make a recommendation on what type of database would best meet the needs of the oncology department. Explain why you have chosen it.
