Data Engineering to Support Healthcare Accreditation Dashboards using Electronic Medical Record Data

Hospitals in Australia are assessed for quality and safety using national standards, but the process is still mostly manual and time-consuming. This thesis develops a data engineering framework that turns clinical data from electronic records into near real-time dashboards to support hospital accreditation. It creates flexible methods to handle changes in data and reporting needs, and ensures data is accurate and ready for use. Tested in a live hospital setting, the system reduces manual effort and improves access to timely information. This research shows how data engineering can support safer, more efficient care in modern healthcare systems.
