Detailed Integration Results

1. Foundation Table Integration

Before Integration Issues:

• Multiple modules defined their own users, patients, and medical_visits tables
• Redundant foundation structures causing data inconsistency risks
• No centralized patient index leading to potential data fragmentation
• Inconsistent foreign key references across modules

After Integration Benefits:

• Single Source of Truth: All modules now reference master foundation tables
• Data Consistency: Centralized patient, user, and visit management
• Referential Integrity: Proper CASCADE and RESTRICT constraints implemented
• Performance Optimization: Reduced data duplication and improved query efficiency

Updated Schema Files:

Schema File	Foundation Tables Integrated	Status
ระบบนัดหมายผู้ป่วยและระบบบริหารจัดการคิว	users, patients, appointments, queues	✅ COMPLETE
งานพยาบาลผู้ป่วยนอก	users, patients, medical_visits, departments	✅ COMPLETE
ระบบงานห้องฉุกเฉิน(ER)	users, patients, medical_visits, departments, triage	✅ COMPLETE
ระบบห้องปฏิบัติการกลาง	users, patients, medical_visits, lab_orders	✅ COMPLETE
ระบบห้องตรวจแพทย์ผู้ป่วยนอก(OPD-CPOE)	users, patients, medical_visits, digital_signatures	✅ COMPLETE

2. Audit Fields Standardization

Standard Audit Pattern Implemented:

-- Standardized Audit Fields
created_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
updated_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
created_by UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES users(id),
updated_by UUID REFERENCES users(id),

-- Soft Delete Pattern  
deleted_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE,
deleted_by UUID REFERENCES users(id),
is_active BOOLEAN DEFAULT TRUE

Benefits:

• PDPA Compliance: Complete audit trail for all data changes
• User Accountability: Full tracking of who created/modified records
• Data Recovery: Soft delete allows recovery of accidentally deleted records
• Regulatory Compliance: Meets healthcare record-keeping requirements

3. Foreign Key Relationship Matrix

Master Schema References:

Target Table	Referenced By	Relationship Type	Cascade Behavior
patients	All patient-related tables	1:N	RESTRICT (protect patient data)
users	All audit fields, assignments	1:N	RESTRICT (preserve accountability)
medical_visits	Visit-specific extensions	1:1	CASCADE (visit lifecycle)
departments	User assignments, services	1:N	RESTRICT (organizational integrity)
digital_signatures	Legal documents, prescriptions	1:1	RESTRICT (legal compliance)

Cross-Module Integration Points:

Source Module	Target Module	Integration Table	Business Flow
OPD-CPOE	Laboratory	medical_orders → lab_orders	Order transmission
OPD-CPOE	Radiology	medical_orders → imaging_orders	Imaging requests
OPD-CPOE	Pharmacy	prescriptions → pharmacy_orders	Medication dispensing
Emergency Room	Admission	er_visits → admission_requests	Patient admission
Nursing	Queue Management	nursing_tasks → queue_updates	Workflow coordination

4. Data Type and Constraint Standardization

Standardized Data Types:

• UUIDs: All primary keys use UUID with gen_random_uuid()
• Timestamps: All time fields use TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE
• Text Fields: Consistent TEXT vs VARCHAR(n) usage based on content type
• Boolean Fields: Standardized naming (is_active, is_completed, is_verified)
• Decimal Fields: Consistent precision for monetary values (DECIMAL(10,2))

Constraint Patterns:

• CHECK Constraints: Standardized for status enums and value ranges
• UNIQUE Constraints: Applied consistently for business keys
• NOT NULL: Properly applied to required fields
• Default Values: Meaningful defaults for operational fields

Technical Architecture Improvements

1. Performance Optimization

Indexing Strategy:

-- Critical performance indexes implemented
CREATE INDEX idx_patients_search ON patients(national_id, phone_number, first_name);
CREATE INDEX idx_medical_visits_active ON medical_visits(visit_date, visit_status) 
    WHERE visit_status IN ('active', 'in_progress');
CREATE INDEX idx_audit_search ON audit_logs(table_name, changed_at DESC, changed_by);

Partitioning Implementation:

• Time-based partitioning for high-volume tables (medical_visits, audit_logs)
• Department-based partitioning for departmental data isolation
• Archival strategy for historical data management

2. Security Enhancements

Row Level Security (RLS):

-- Patient data access control
ALTER TABLE patients ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY;
CREATE POLICY patient_access_policy ON patients
    FOR ALL TO authenticated_users
    USING (
        -- Patient can access own record
        patient_id = current_patient_id() OR
        -- Healthcare providers with proper authorization
        current_user_has_patient_access(patient_id) OR
        -- Administrative roles
        current_user_has_role('admin', 'medical_records')
    );

Audit Trail Compliance:

• Complete audit logging for all table modifications
• PDPA-compliant data access tracking
• Digital signature verification for legal documents
• Encryption at rest for sensitive patient data

3. Data Quality Assurance

Validation Rules:

• Referential integrity enforced through foreign keys
• Business rule validation through CHECK constraints
• Data format validation through custom functions
• Completeness checking for required clinical data

Data Consistency Checks:

-- Example consistency validation
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION validate_visit_consistency()
RETURNS TRIGGER AS $$
BEGIN
    -- Ensure visit dates are logical
    IF NEW.visit_date > CURRENT_DATE THEN
        RAISE EXCEPTION 'Visit date cannot be in the future';
    END IF;

    -- Validate patient-provider relationship
    IF NOT EXISTS (
        SELECT 1 FROM provider_patient_access 
        WHERE provider_id = NEW.attending_doctor_id 
        AND patient_id = NEW.patient_id
    ) THEN
        RAISE EXCEPTION 'Provider does not have access to this patient';
    END IF;

    RETURN NEW;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
