Imagine you are the newly hired HIM Director of a local healthcare facility that is in the process of database development. First, you need to develop a Data Dictionary (before the actual 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):

1. Name of the Data Dictionary table

2. Data elements: Field names/attributes

3. Data type (text, number, alphanumeric)

4. Description of the field/attribute, the reasoning for the choice made

5. Format for collecting the information (e.g., date of birth DDMMYYYY – day, month, year)

6. Number of characters that can be stored (File Size)

7. The range of values (e.g., 1-100).

8. 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?

9. How to overcome them?
