While the use of database technology is ubiquitous throughout IT
(and health IT in particular), it is not generally appreciated
that, as a database increases in scope, certain designs are far
superior to others. In biomedical domains, new knowledge is being
generated continually, and the databases that must support areas
such as clinical care and research must also be able to evolve
while requiring minimal or no logical / physical redesign.
Appropriately designed metadata, and software designed to utilize
it effectively, can provide significant insulation against change.
Many of the larger EMR or clinical research database vendors have
realized this, but their designs are proprietary and not described
in the literature. Consequently, numerous misconceptions abound
among individuals who have not had to work with large-scale
biomedical systems, and graduates of a health or bioinformatics
program may find that they need to unlearn what they were taught in
database and software design classes in order to work productively
with such systems. A working knowledge of such systems is also
important for individuals who are not primarily software
developers, such as health informaticians, medical information
officers and data analysts. This book is, in a sense, intended to
prepare all of the above individuals for the real world.
