MAHI Research Database Data Validation System Software Prototype Demonstration September 18, 2001 http://www.cstp.umkc.edu/~yugi/mahi.html
Aug, 2001: Project Status Report • Project Vision & Goal • Task Analysis • Tentative Schedule • Summary of Phase-1 Task • Research: Validation Hierarchy • Prototype Development • Secure Protocol (Digital Sender) • Potential Future Project
Project Goals • Information System for Medical Databases • Phase-1: Data Validation • Phase-2: Data Integration • Phase-3: Data Mining and Analysis • Improve medical database system using new technologies (XML, hierarchical repository, component, etc) • Focus on an open architecture (scaleable, flexible, available, integrable, etc) • Develop representations and models
Project Task Analysis • Research • Technology analysis and review • Development of models and algorithms • Publication • System Development • Requirements/domain analysis • System design • Prototype development • Deliverables • Demo • System specification/source code • Tutorial
Phase-1: Data Validation • Requirements and Technology analysis • Understanding MAHI database system • Identifying stakeholders’ needs • Technology review and analysis • System architecture: XML-based information system • Prototype development (proof-of-concept) • scaleable, flexible, available, integrable, secure
What’s next? Data Integration • Data integration and storage • Understanding of disparate data sources • Data integration for multiple data sources • Data exchange between XML and databases • Seamless Integration with the current MAHI system • Data conversion of legacy database • Enhancement of data validation • Technologies: XML-repository, databases, data warehouses, component technologies
Today’s presentation • Prototype overview • Live demonstration • Audience feedback & discussion
Purpose • We want to make the product tangible, bring usage scenarios to life, and close gaps in understanding user requirements. • 3 major focuses: • Clarify and complete requirements • Explore design alternatives • Grow into the fully-realized product
Staged development for the MAHI Research Database System Structure Data analysis Behavioral prototyping: - Appearance and behavior of user interface Phase 3 Data integration Phase 2 Structural prototyping: - Implementing application functionality Data validation Phase 1 Behavior
How we performed prototyping • ‘Look-and-feel’ vs. ‘Evolutionary’ prototyping Gather user requirements Refine user requirements Construct structural prototype Construct evolutionary prototype Develop ‘look-and-feel’ behavioral prototypes Design software architecture Evolve prototype; verify and deliver increments Design user interface Construct and verify product Construct and verify product Deliver product
Evaluating the prototype • Functionality implemented in expected way? • Any missing functionality? • Any error conditions that the prototype does not address? • Any unnecessary functions? • How comfortable and logical does navigation seem? • Easier ways to perform this task?
Data Validation System Objectives • Provide a common handler to validate all new in-coming data. • Represent the new data in a common, well-structured format that is easily read and manipulated by processing applications. • Separate data content in patient records from process- and presentation-dependent metadata. • Provide a data transformation process to integrate in-coming patient records for storage in the database.

System features • User friendly interface • Web accessible • Log-in and authentication • The Main panel • The Settings panel • The Record Viewer • Correcting errors • XML data conversion • Exporting to the database
Log-in and authentication User id and password authenticated in this window. This tab gives user the option to provide user login and password. User login completed pressing this button. User can Log-off using this button. • Password log-in feature for accessing the application. • Added security.
The Main Panel • The Main panel allows the user to connect to the quarantine database. Pop-up window showing user authentication was successful. • User can select the data source to validate and the XML schema to use. • Files are scanned for errors; errors are displayed. • User can resubmit the corrected records from this panel.
The Main Panel User selects table name from a drop down box. It also shows the records display. You can enter the range of records to validate. Pressing this button will call the “validator” module. Progress bar indicating no files processed.
The Settings Panel This panel allows you to make new user login settings. Add user button Dialog box notifying of the success of the new user id creation. • The Settings panel is used to create new user login settings. • Information about the current network port and host settings are also displayed here.
The Record Viewer • The Record Viewer displays all fields of a particular record. This column lists all the fields for the record. This column lists the values for various fields. Fields that have an error have their corresponding ErrorFlags field checked. After changes in the records are made, using this button, database will be updated.
Correcting errors • The validator module returns records containing errors. Validate the records selected by the user and list them on the screen. Lists all the records within the range specified by the data operator. Lists the no. of errors in the particular record.
XML Data Conversion • The XMLGen module converts validated records into an interim XML representation. A validated InformScreen record in XML InformScreen records in Quarantine database
XML Data Conversion • The XSLTransform module then converts the interim XML documents into a common document format (MahiDoc). MahiDoc AdmitFile record Interim AdmitFile record Interim InformScreen record MahiDoc InformScreen record
Exporting to Database • The validated MahiDoc files are exported into SQL Server 2000 database using Microsoft’s OpenXML extension. Exported XML data is stored into Patient, Encounters, Readings, and Location tables. MahiDoc InformScreen record in XML repository
