Paper Abstract:
|
Database design is an integral part of the application design. A good database design should be well planned and structured to satisfy the needs of the users. Its goal is to achieve minimum redundancy and maximum performance over time. The purpose of this research is to critique the database design of Community Health Information Tracking System (CHITS), a free and open source software designed to aid local health centers and rural health units in the Philippines, by applying the norms of a good database design. The testing is done by applying the best practices of database design that is generally accepted today. Evaluation showed that there were minor and major flaws found in the design and the researchers suggest remodeling the database design of CHITS and documenting the process to achieve its full capability. |
