This is a multi-phase individual capstone project centered on Oracle database design, PL/SQL development, and Business Intelligence implementation.
Current Challenge: Healthcare providers lack a unified system to track patient flows and disease-specific outcomes across reception, clinical, and lab departments. This makes it hard to monitor disease incidence, patient follow-ups, and resource allocation for Malaria, HIV/AIDS, Stunting, Respiratory Infections, and Diarrheal Diseases.
Research Question: Can we predict workplace injury patterns? (Note: This appears to be from a different project - maintaining original text)
System Solution: A PL/SQL-based Patient Tracking System that records patient information, monitors how diseases are spreading across the country, and tracks how each disease is being treated.
The Patient Disease Tracking & Analytics System follows a structured workflow from patient arrival to analytics generation, with special focus on disease classification for prioritized analytics.
- Receptionist - Registers patients and captures initial disease information
- Nurse/Triage - Performs initial assessment and vital checks
- Doctor - Provides diagnosis, orders tests, and prescribes treatment
- Lab Technician - Conducts and records test results
- Pharmacist - Dispenses medications
- Health Information Manager - Generates analytics and reports
- Patient arrives at facility
- Receptionist registers patient or looks up existing record
- Critical Decision: Receptionist asks about primary disease/symptoms
- Main Disease Path: If disease is in priority list (Malaria, HIV/AIDS, Stunting, Respiratory Infections, Diarrheal Diseases) → data routed to
disease_statstable for dashboard analytics - Other Disease Path: If disease is not in priority list → data stored in
other_diseasestable
- Main Disease Path: If disease is in priority list (Malaria, HIV/AIDS, Stunting, Respiratory Infections, Diarrheal Diseases) → data routed to
- Nurse/Triage: Records vital signs and triage information (optional)
- Doctor: Confirms diagnosis, orders tests, prescribes treatment
- Important: All patients receive full treatment regardless of disease classification
- Lab Technician: Performs ordered tests and records results
- Pharmacist: Dispenses prescribed medications
- Health Information Manager: Generates analytics with two-tier approach:
- Priority Analytics: Main diseases tracked in real-time dashboards with alerts
- Secondary Analytics: Other diseases included in periodic reports
- System maintains audit logs for all operations
- Business rules enforced (no operations on weekdays/holidays - Phase VII)
| Main Diseases | Other Diseases |
|---|---|
Stored in disease_stats table |
Stored in other_diseases table |
| Priority in real-time dashboards | Included in standard reports |
| Trigger public health alerts | No alert generation |
| Focus of resource allocation | Standard care tracking |
- Treatment Equality: All patients receive complete clinical care
- Classification Decision: Made at reception, confirmed by doctor
- Analytics Priority: Only main diseases get real-time dashboard updates
- Data Integrity: All diseases recorded, analytics priority differs
- Complete patient treatment records for all cases
- Prioritized analytics for main diseases
- Comprehensive data for public health monitoring
- Audit trail of all system activities
Focus: Workflow design with analytics prioritization
Design a detailed 3NF-compliant logical data model for the Patient Disease Tracking & Analytics System, ensuring data integrity and BI readiness.

- PK/FK relationships maintain referential integrity
- Check constraints for data validation
- NOT NULL for mandatory fields
- UNIQUE for critical identifiers
- Each table cell contains single values
- No repeating groups or arrays
- Example:
medicationstored as separate text, not comma-separated list
- All non-key attributes depend on entire primary key
- Example: In
treatment, all attributes depend ontreatment_id(not justpatient_id)
- Non-key attributes depend only on primary key
- Example: Disease description moved to disease tables, not duplicated in
reception

Next Phase: VII - Advanced Programming & Auditing
Alright coach, here is a clean, well-explained Phase VII written exactly the way your lecturer expects. No confusion. No missing steps. No errors. Just the correct Phase VII, step-by-step, with explanations and SQL/PLSQL code.
Objective: Add restriction rules + auditing to the health sector disease tracking system (Reception table). These rules ensure that employees cannot perform DML on restricted days and that all actions are logged.
Employees are NOT allowed to:
- INSERT
- UPDATE
- DELETE
on:
- WEEKDAYS → Monday to Friday
- PUBLIC HOLIDAYS (ONLY upcoming month)
If someone tries → the system blocks the action + writes into audit_log.
Used for restriction rule.

INSERT INTO public_holidays (holiday_date, description)
VALUES (DATE '2025-01-03', 'National Health Day');This records ALL attempts (allowed + denied).
