You are the IT administrator of a large hospital that wants to modernise its systems. There are

several problems unique to health care that can be improved by a good system design and

judicious use of algorithms and data structures. How would you go about designing a solution to

some of these problems, while keeping in mind what health care IT systems need: extremely high

reliability $($no down time$),$ speed, and confidentiality.

Do not forget to justify your selection of algorithm$/$data structure in full. If you need to make

any assumptions about what additional data you need, please state them, and explain in

detail why they are necessary. What and how have you applied the content you have learnt in

this course?

The Emergency Triage departments needs to maintain a priority queue to serve the patients

to the best of their ability. Of course, it needs to deal with patients in order, but it also needs

to take into consideration the severity of the ailment affecting each patient.

The ambulance service running from the hospital uses its own navigation app to guide the

ambulance drivers through traffic and road conditions with privileged data connected to the

city's CCTV camera system as well as police service. Which algorithm would you use to

implement such a navigation system effectively? How would you implement this and what

design constraints do you need to consider? Provide as much detail as possible.

To ensure the smooth running of the hospital, health care professionals and administrators

need to communicate quickly and efficiently while also being secure$.$ The hospitals vital

computer network needs a packet filtering $($or email filtering$)$ service that is effective. How

would you go about designing this and which data structures and algorithms would you

use? Provide as much detail as possible.
