PatientPro Design Diary
Layered Architecture
PatientPro runs on a standard 3-level architecture which includes:
- Client-level applications
- Server-level applications
- Backend database layer
The
client level applications run on end-user machines, such as your PC or
a mobile device such as a smart phone or PDA. They enable the user to
work on patient data while at home or on-the-go, without need for
Internet access. Information can then later be synchronized with the
server to maintain data integrity.
Those
not familiar with the purpose of layered architectures should find it
interesting that the implementation of each layer can be changed
internally while still maintaining the system’s total functions. As
long as there is a well defined interface for each layer, and that
interface is immutable, the system will continue to function regardless
of the inner-workings of each layer.
Glossary of terms
data integrity – refers to the consistency of data and its quality as in corruption in the data induced by software or hardware
