G3DMS: Design and Implementation of a Data Management System for the Diagnosis of Genetic Disorders

A Data-Driven Paradigm for a Resilient and Sustainable Integrated Health Information Systems for Health Care Applications

Introduction

Many transformations and uncertainties, such as the fourth industrial revolution and pandemics, have propelled healthcare acceptance and deployment of health information systems (HIS). External and internal determinants aligning with the global course influence their deployments. At the epic is digitalization, which generates endless data that has permeated healthcare. The continuous proliferation of complex and dynamic healthcare data is the digitalization frontier in healthcare that necessitates attention.

Objective

This study explores the existing body of information on HIS for healthcare through the data lens to present a data-driven paradigm for healthcare augmentation paramount to attaining a sustainable and resilient HIS.

Method

Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses: PRISMA-compliant in-depth literature review was conducted systematically to synthesize and analyze the literature content to ascertain the value disposition of HIS data in healthcare delivery.

Results

This study details the aspects of a data-driven paradigm for robust and sustainable HIS for health care applications. Data source, data action and decisions, data sciences techniques, serialization of data sciences techniques in the HIS, and data insight implementation and application are data-driven features expounded. These are essential data-driven paradigm building blocks that need iteration to succeed.

Discussions

Existing literature considers insurgent data in healthcare challenging, disruptive, and potentially revolutionary. This view echoes the current healthcare quandary of good and bad data availability. Thus, data-driven insights are essential for building a resilient and sustainable HIS. People, technology, and tasks dominated prior HIS frameworks, with few data-centric facets. Improving healthcare and the HIS requires identifying and integrating crucial data elements.

Conclusion

The paper presented a data-driven paradigm for a resilient and sustainable HIS. The findings show that data-driven track and components are essential to improve healthcare using data analytics insights. It provides an integrated footing for data analytics to support and effectively assist health care delivery.

Health Information System and Health Care Applications Performance in the Healthcare Arena: A Bibliometric Analysis

There have been several studies centred on health information systems with many insights provided to enhance health care applications globally. These studies have provided theoretical schemes for fortifying the enactment and utilisation of the Health Information System (HIS). In addition, these research studies contribute greatly to the development of HIS in alignment with major stakeholders such as health practitioners and recipients of health care. Conversely, there has been trepidation about HIS' sustainability and resilience for healthcare applications in the era of digitalization and globalization. Hence, this paper investigates research on HIS with a primary focus on health care applications to ascertain its sustainability and resilience amidst the transformation of the global healthcare space. Therefore, using a bibliometric approach, this paper measures the performance of health information systems and healthcare for health care applications using bibliometric data from the web of science database. The findings reveal solid evidence of the constructive transformation of health information systems and health care applications in the healthcare arena, providing ample evidence of the adaptation of HIS and health care applications within the healthcare arena to the fourth industrial revolution and, additionally, revealing the resilient alignment of health care applications and health information systems.

GENE2D: A NoSQL Integrated Data Repository of Genetic Disorders Data

There are few sources from which to obtain clinical and genetic data for use in research in Saudi Arabia. Numerous obstacles led to the difficulty of integrating these data from silos and scattered sources to provide standardized access to large data sets for patients with common health conditions. To this end, we sought to contribute to this area and offer a practical and easy-to-implement solution. In this paper, we aim to design and implement a "not only SQL" (NoSQL) based integration framework to generate an Integrated Data Repository of Genetic Disorders Data (GENE2D) to integrate data from various genetic clinics and research centers in Saudi Arabia and provide an easy-to-use query interface for researchers to conduct their studies on large datasets. The major components involved in the GENE2D architecture consists of the data sources, the integrated data repository (IDR) as a central database, and the application interface. The IDR uses a NoSQL document store via MongoDB (an open source document-oriented database program) as a backend database. The application interface called Query Builder provides multiple services for data retrieval from the database using a custom query to answer simple or complex research questions. The GENE2D system demonstrates its potential to help grow and develop a national genetic disorders database in Saudi Arabia.
