Integration analysis between two systems

Imagine there are two simple but disconnected software systems each with its own database,
with different types of users, and use cases - but holding similar data. An example of this can be
a community health worker system and clinic based system - both holding health records of the
same community member / patient.

You are given the task of analyzing compatibility between these two systems so that they
can be integrated. The integration is to send all community member registration information to
the clinic based system and register via an API.

[If you are receiving this assignment for QA role, test cases are not expected, but rather
analysis of what issues can crop up when integrating these two systems]

About Community Health System

● Field based health workers
● Service provided to village members
● Uses mobile app
● Providing service at home or in village centers

About Clinic System

● Used by clinic users like registration clerk, pharmacist, nurse.
● Use desktop computers

Please also see the diagram below.

The objective of integration is to pre-register community members in case they visit a clinic with
all the registration details like name, demographics, basic medical condition, etc. Note there is
no requirement to get patient registration data from the clinic system into the community system
- i.e. the direction of data is unidirectional.

About the submission

As you can see, there are discrepancies in the data model between the two systems. You have
to prepare a one page report on data definition issues that needs to be resolved between two
systems - before the integration can be done.
