Slide 5: EHR Hardware Platform
Sometimes in Electronic Health Record installations, we use the term Back-end
to refer to the Database server and Application server. The Front-end of the
system is where clinician interaction occursa desktop computer or perhaps a
mobile device.
Slide 9: Databases
Most EHR databases rely on either a Relational or Hierarchical data model.
Relational databases include IBM DB2, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server; while
Cach is the most common hierarchical database.

Slide 10: Relational Databases
A relational database is a collection of data items organized as a set of formally-
described tables from which data can be accessed or reassembled in many
different ways without having to reorganize the database tables.
The standard user and application program interface to a relational database is
the structured query language, or SQL.

user database-driven applications. While its not especially common outside of
healthcare, it predates C and most other popular languages in current usage.

Slide 29: System Use
Most EHRs provide basic auditing capabilities that allow administrators to see
who viewed or edited information in a patients chart. Audit logs are beneficial for
enhancing information security, but if architected correctly, they can also provide
data about system use.
For example, a healthcare organization may want to answer questions such as:
How many clinicians are using the system?
What are peak times of system usage?
And, how much time do clinicians spend on specific tasks, such as note-writing?
