Repeated failure points we should address before going too far

We have had many failed attempts at re-platforming. The technical change would be tedious but doable, the sticking points have always been around the following, so we should discuss these before planning too much further.

  • governance of any implemented system
  • data ownership
  • support model
  • our team's continued ability to change this as needed

Relatively Hard Facts

  • 15-20 users on laptops, sometimes working from home, sometimes not connected to the network due to lack if wifi
  • About 2-2.5GB of data altogether as stored in various MS Access DBs (size may vary on other platforms)
  • Has several highly customized front-ends that facilitates efficient and low-error data entry
    • facilitates data entry from a daily dump received from ADT
  • Data we need to store is in Auto Data Dictionary
    • it is currently stored in CCMDB Data Structure - this structure could be stored differently but would cause large changes
  • We have (and continuously improve) Data Integrity Checks

Current Implementation

  • system of intermittently linked MS Access databases with a fair bit of automation
  • facilitated interfaces with Shared Health systems (we request and receive data in files that we import as either temporary or permanent data)
  • number of fields not necessarily relevant because of Entity–attribute–value model of the L Tmp V2 table
