Abstract

A Database is a collection of information organized in such a way that a computer program can select desired pieces of data; Database is simply called as a electronic filing system. As the collection of data is going high and high the importance of databases is increasing enormously with in no time. The time has come that each and every small organization need to develop a database. One of the important organizations where database plays a very important role is the health care industries. Health care is directly related to the health of the people, who are the most important resources in this world. The information about the patients is very important and has to be maintained with high security and without any errors. Like every year around 98000 Americans are dying because of medication errors. The CDB was conceptualized in 2004 by an internal medicine physician and informatics expert, along with a team of physicians and nurses who were living with the reality that patient care is an information-intensive service. This team recognized that a patient's medical record is often wanted in many places at the same time. The Ann Arbor Community Clinic is on of the organization which has around 5000 patient visits, and it is important for them to store the right information and save them for very long time and retrieve at the time it is required to provide the best service for the community. So ACC has come with an idea to develop the database to avoid the manual entry, medication errors, problem of storing bulk data and also save time in retrieving the information. This Report Contains the development of database and the importance it plays for the development of the organization by providing the best service in the community.
