EVOLUTION AND USES OF DATABASES
In a developed country like the United States, automobiles have become such an integral component of daily life that they are considered a part of our culture. However, this transition took decades. What began as a novelty—dubbed a “horseless carriage”—eventually became the Model T, rolling off of Henry Ford’s assembly lines in a continuous chain of identical black vehicles. Over time, specialized needs of different consumers necessitated the development of specialized vehicles. Soon, cars were designed with options for luxury, speed, fuel efficiency, or the need to haul cargo.
The ever-growing volume of—and need for—health-related data has driven a similar evolution of database technology and approaches. While the need to record, store, and extract data has not changed, the need to do so more effectively, efficiently, accurately, and securely has grown significantly.
In this Assignment, you analyze the history and evolution of databases. You consider the challenges and opportunities presented by the proliferation of healthcare data, and you analyze the impact this evolution has on healthcare settings.
TO PREPARE:
· Review the Learning Resources.
· Research Walden Library or other scholarly sources about the evolution of databases, including flat files, early data management systems, relational database systems, and NoSQL.
· Consider how the recording, storage, and extraction of data has evolved over time.
· Reflect on your Week 1 Discussion and consider how data is employed in nursing practice and in healthcare settings.
Develop an 8- to 10-slide PowerPoint presentation in which you:
· Describe the history and evolution of databases. Address each of the following:
· Flat files
· Early data management systems
· Relational database systems
· NoSQL
· Compare open source database systems to commercial database systems.
· Analyze the benefits and challenges of open source database systems and commercial database systems. Be specific and provide examples.
· Analyze the use of databases as the foundation for health-related information systems. Be specific and provide examples.
· Provide references in APA style at the end of your presentation—the reference slide or slides do not count toward your assignment total.

Go to the Home tab at the top and click the New Slide or Layout button to access different formatting for your slides.
Choose formatting that presents your information in the most logical way.
Use consistent, grammatically parallel format for bulleted lists (for example, on this slide, each element begins with an imperative verb).
[Heading Goes Here]
Keep font of text consistent.
Be sure headings are consistent in their spacing, placement, size, etc.
Consider using the slide after the title slide to summarize your presentation’s points (like an abstract for a paper).
Your slides can also contain entire paragraphs, like this one does. Citation rules apply to presentations just as they do to papers—when using or referencing another author’s ideas, you must cite that source. When incorporating a citation in a slide, do so just as you would in a traditional paper (Smith, 2010). According to Jones (2007), presentations aren’t very different from papers!
