Implementation of Data Transform Method into NoSQL Database for Healthcare Data

Currently, most health care systems used among divisions in medical centers still adopt the Excel file format for a variety of scales statistics, such as the clinical self-care ability scale for Functional Independence Measure. Although people can further analyze Excel files using other statistical analysis software, such as SAS, SPSS, and STATA, they cannot effectively share the archived data in Excel among divisions. We propose to do format conversion on these data and store them in a database. As the collection of Excel files cannot be shared with ease, we plan to use HBase, a non-relational database, to further integrate data. The purpose of this paper is to construct complete import tools and solutions based on HBase to facilitate easy access of data in HBase. Besides, a visual interface is also used to manage HBase to implement user friendly client connection tools for the HBase database.
