1INFORMATION SYSTEM IN HEALTHCARE
Background:
The purpose of the assignment is to find out the contribution of the database directories in
the health care information system. In this regards the paper will provide a comparison between
the database directories, process of choosing articles, contribution of the article in health care
system and discussion of an article related to health. The chosen topic for the assignment is type
2 diabetes and the chosen article is Standardized screening for periodontitis as an integral part
of multidisciplinary management of adults with type 2 diabetes: an observational cross-sectional
study of cohorts in the USA and UK ((Pumerantz et al., 2017).
Comparison of database directories (PubMed and Google scholar):
Both the database directories Google scholar and PubMed provide relevant literature in
order provide important information regarding health care system that could help to improve the
service. In case of Google Scholar it provides relevant books, journals and articles from any time
in the first attempt, thus the researchers need to custom the time period in order to find out the
proper literature of current research. In contrast PubMed provides only peer reviewed articles of
recent time and it also have the option of best match that helps to choose most recent and best
literature in the first attempt. However, both the database directories are effective in providing
important information and help the health care system to introduce evidence-based interventions
