CIS386 Project: Big Data Implementation for Hospital Data Management

This project report focuses on implementing big data technology for hospital data management. It begins with an introduction to the problem of managing large datasets in hospitals, highlighting the limitations and significance of the study. The project selection involves analyzing the characteristics of the problem, stakeholders, and the availability of technology. The report then details the project development life cycle (PDLC), including initiation, planning, enactment, and closure. A project schedule is provided with a Gantt chart and a network diagram, with an expected completion date. The project development stages are presented, including a project initiation report with a risk management plan and a stakeholder management plan. Finally, a project requirement specification outlines the necessary technical skills and strategic planning concepts. The project uses Apache Hadoop, SQL, and Apache Spark, with references to relevant literature. The project aims to demonstrate experience in project management and effective organizational leadership skills for managing data in the hospital environment. The document is contributed by a student and published on Desklib, a platform providing AI-based study tools.

1. Introduction
Big data technology is an evolving technology which is increasingly used in business
environments to categories the structure and unstructured data, thus the progress of any industry
depends upon the deployment of this technology.
1.1 Background of the study
Management of huge amount of datasets is huge problem in the hospitals and the
introduction of emerging technologies such as the big data technology is expected to address this
data. This kind of data management issues are faced in most of the global business organizations
all around the world1. At the same time, it can be said that some of the global business
organizations are enjoying the benefits of introducing this technology in this business.
1.2 Statement of problem
The progress of the hospital depends hugely on the data management procedure and it can be
termed as one of the most complex problems which are there in most of the hospitals all around
the world. The protection of the data is very much required due to the increasing amount of cyber
security attacks and threats coming from the insiders.

1.5 Limitations of the study
The prime limitation of this research is that it has to be concluded within a short time.
Selection of the appropriate project was the other limitation of this project.
1.6 Significance of the study
Relevance of the study: The different stakeholders of a hospital can understand the
connotation of big data technology using this research.

5BIG DATA
Rationale: Data management is one of the prime issues which are faced in every hospital
which can be resolved using the big data technology2.
Solution: The use of big data is much useful to address the data management issues. Ideas
and concepts must be taken from secondary sources.
2. Selection of project
Management of the data is a huge problem in most hospital industry. Thus, it can be
stated that introduction of big data can be very much useful to categorize the diverse types of
business data. The introduction of this technology must be done in numerous sub phases so that
the daily operations are not disrupted.
2.1 Characteristics of project problem
The business growth of hospitals depends upon the data protection procedure.
2.2 Stakeholders of the project
The investors and the management team of the hospitals using the big data technology.
2.3 Availability of the technology
The issue of data management can be resolved in the first place with the help of the big
data technology.
3. Project development life cycle (PDLC)
Initiation: Detailed documentation is one of the prime phase of this project and it is
considered in this phase of the project. The problem is defined in this phase.

6BIG DATA
Planning: Selection of the tools is one of the prime aspects of this phase of this project.
Stakeholders required are also identified in this phase.
Enactment: The emerging technology are installed phase wise and it can be followed by
testing of the installed technology3.
Closure: Detailed documentation done again listing the end result with the initial
requirement file.
