The purpose of this assignment is to provide learners a basic understanding for identifying a database project
proposal for collecting data and for designing and developing a small database that can be used to compile
and report clinical data related to either quality measures or pharmaceutical products and utilization.
There are three parts to the database project proposal. The initial step involves identifying an idea for a
database and describing its purpose. The second part allows you to design the database components. The
third part requires you to present the database proposal to stakeholders. Feedback from the instructor at

every stage will help you make improvements in the database project.
To complete Part 1 of the Database Project Proposal assignment, create a 500-750-word proposal outlining the
following elements:
1. Statement of the project problem and defnition of terms.
2. Identify database users (personnel/credentials): Who are they? What are their competencies and
background?
3. Discuss the types of data that users will collect for the proposed database and describe at least three
reports that will be generated for analysis. Explain their use and who will use the reports?
4. Describe the project goals and clear measurable objectives for the database. Identify the steps you will take
to meet the goals and objectives.
5. Forecast any potential problems or barriers to meeting the project goals and objectives. Are there any
specifc assumptions that need to be made?
6. Discuss data communications protocols that could be used in your database project. Refer to the
“Blockchain Personal Health Records: Systematic Review” article, provided in the topic Resources.
7. Conclude with the value of the project with emphasis on feasibility and the beneft of the expected results.
