The Client
The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH), Incident Management is charged with monitoring the spread of infectious diseases within the State of New York. Through effective monitoring, it would be able to provide an early warning system in the instance of an outbreak – either natural or man-made.
The Need
The NYSDOH needed a web-based application that would be accessible to the various counties and hospitals within the state.Through this application, the personnel within these hospitals would be able to answer surveys relating to any particular incidents regarding infectious diseases.
So, in effect, the objective was to empower counties and hospitals to record and report data related to incidents like Avian Flu, SARS etc to the NYSDOH.
The Solution
The solution was to build a web-based application framework called Hospital Information Network (HIN) that would allow the NYSDOH to develop custom surveys on the fly, thereby allowing them to collect appropriate data very rapidly and respond rapidly to any calamity.This framework would allow the department to build survey pages
dynamically using a web-based tool.
NYSDOH would then inform the counties and hospitals through the NYSDOH website regarding the survey. After this data is collected,the NYSDOH datamodels would allow the department to analyze the data related to these incidents.
The Project
Inkriti along with a partner built the solution using the following technologies:
- J2EE, Struts
- BEA Application Server
- JMS messaging
- Sybase 12.5 for the database
