National Health System

This project is systematic and operational recording system, which aims to collect, analyze and increase data quality (while sharing) of personal health data in each health institution (online) through the web services. Cloud computing technologies, big data technologies, NoSql databases and distributed architectural structures have been used. The project has been specifically designed for the Turkish Ministry of Health in cooperation with the Turkish Telecommunication Agency. 

 

This project has been designed and developed in order to ensure the sustainability of many health applications (which were designed/developed under the body of the Ministry of Health) in an integrated structure and to eliminate the unnecessary/uneffective health applications. Therefore, the integrated structure aims to determine the frame of National Health Information System. The project primarily aims to ensure an effective/feasible project scheduling for the purpose of effective/productive project management.

 

Today, the system collects medical data from more than 30.000 health institutions. This means more than 80 million people's medical data is stored. Thus, a single healthcare repository is built. Currently, more than 15 million users (including practitioners and data owners) can make queries from the repository (it includes the information related to physical examination results, prescriptions, laboratory examination results, invoices etc.). Under this repository, almost 100 million transactions are stored daily and almost 15 TB data (almost 75 data nodes) is stored safely. During the design of the database structure, Couchbase NoSQL is used while ASP.NET, Javascript(NodeJS) are used as the programming languages. In summary, all the citizens' health data is kept under this system and the service is provided for more than 15 million people for the application functioning in both, on IOS and Android platforms. There are more than 150 servers in the system and approximately 1,5 billion data is kept on all of these servers.
