Overview
This flowchart depicts a secure and structured Livestock Health & Disease Control Programme (LH-DCP) for handling lab data, from data acquisition to analysis, underpinned by various technical protocols and processes. Here’s a detailed breakdown:
-
User Management
- System Administration: The Admin oversees user roles and access permissions, ensuring only authorized personnel can access specific parts of the system, using a tech stack of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and MySQL for front-end interfaces and backend data handling.
- User Authentication & Authorization: Through secure protocols, users are authenticated and assigned roles, streamlining access control and preventing unauthorized data handling.
-
Data Submission by Lab Scientists
- Data Input: Laboratory scientists (LS) handle initial data entry via file uploads or online forms, directed to a Partial Database (MySQL) to ensure structured storage and validation.
- Data Encryption: Data transfers are secured with TLS and SSL encryption to ensure data confidentiality during transmission.
-
Data Validation & Approval
- Review by Lab Manager: The Lab Manager verifies data integrity and can approve or reject data with comments for quality assurance.
- Conditional Workflow: Rejected data is returned for correction, while approved data moves to the Final Database.
-
Data Storage and Security in Final Database
- Final Database: Stores only validated data with TLS/SSL encryption for security and compliance.
- Data Integrity: Tamper-proof storage of approved data, ensuring reliable, secure data access.
-
Data Analysis & Visualization
- Analysis Tools Integration: Python, R, and SAS are used for statistical analysis and visualization, facilitating trend analysis and report generation.
- Data Visualization: Dashboards are created for stakeholders to interpret patterns and generate insights.
Technical Infrastructure Summary
- Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript
- Backend: PHP and MySQL
- Security: TLS and SSL encryption
- Data Analysis: Python, R, SAS.
Overall System Benefits
- Data Integrity: High-quality data ensured through validation workflows.
- Scalability: Modular structure supports expanding lab operations.
- Compliance and Security: TLS/SSL encryption aligns with industry standards.
This system ensures seamless flow from data acquisition to analysis, maintaining data security, quality, and accessibility throughout.
