Requirements
Our project to develop an immunization database primarily requires the following: public health professionals, development team, informatics, computer programs, and public health practices.
Special considerations that must be taken into account
Patient data security and privacy must be taken into account since incorporating patient’s information in a database is prone to accessibility by unauthorized person. The system being developed will ensure that data pertaining to patients is protected from unauthorized person. Besides, the ability of the system to prevent loss of information will be assessed. The information will be used in order to ensure that the information is kept safe.
Another special consideration is the simplicity of the system to be developed. In this case, the database is intended for use by various personalities and departments.
