Newly hired HIM Director of a local healthcare facility that is in the process of database development.

Imagine you are the newly hired HIM Director of a local healthcare facility that is in the process of database development.

Which components of the databases would you include in the Data Dictionary for a facility you are working for and why? (Use the following guidelines and an example below):Name of the Data Dictionary tableData elements: Field names/attributesData type (text, number, alphanumeric)Description of the field/attribute, the reasoning for the choice madeFormat for collecting the information (e.g., date of birth DDMMYYYY day, month, year)Number of characters that can be stored (File Size)The range of values (e.g., 1-100).What are the consequences of organizational performance ( when lacking specific organizational knowledge) and compliance in case of a missing Data Dictionary for the databases(s) the organization is developing or using? How to overcome them?
