Storage and Integration
Benefits
The data in the healthcare industry is increasingly digitized and similar to the majority of the industries, the healthcare data is growing in value, volume and velocity (Shafqat et al., 2018). The healthcare data storage and integration have a lot of benefits to patients, health facilities and practitioners (Belle et al., 2015). First, improving the health results; tracking different trends in health in specific areas or between certain populations anticipate new trends as well as suggests measures counter the emerging issues. Second, improving patient engagement, targeting patients with care suggestions and reminded which can be essential for them, based on the stored data. Third, improving decision making; stored data helps the health facilities and doctors to make informed data-based decisions. The data can be analyzed to know the common types of diseases reported within a certain area and the kind of specialist to hire, drugs to buy as well as the equipment needed for diagnosis or treatment.
Challenges
The clinicians do not regularly think about where their information is stored (Dash et al., 2019). However, it is a significant cost, performance and security issue for the information technology (IT) department. When the data volumes of healthcare grow exponentially, some healthcare providers are not able to sufficiently manage the impacts and costs of their data centers (Belle et al., 2015). Whereas most organizations are comfortable with the on-premise data centers, that promise control over the data access, up-time and security, an on-site server may be quite expensive to maintain, scale and it’s prone to generating data silos across various departments.

Data Gathering
Data gathering in healthcare can be identified as the processing of collecting information, which is referred to as the data. Such data is expected to be stored most appropriately. There are different benefits and challenges associated with the gathering of data in the healthcare industry.
Benefits
A key benefit of gathering data is that it contributes to standardization within healthcare. This is done through the standard record keeping. Another benefit is that data gathering helps in minimizing errors. The computerized data gathering helps the doctors in minimizing any errors that may be as a result of poor handwriting or any other transcription mistakes. Gathering data promotes efficiency in the healthcare industry (Dash et al., 2019). Important information conserving the patients is always collected whenever they pay a visit to their doctors, and such collection of data helps the doctors in quickly filtering the specific information concerning the patients.
Data gathering helps in promoting effectiveness in transferring information. This is especially when a patient needs additional care in another hospital where it would be simple to transfer his or her medical history to the new medical facility. Gathering data helps in improving the satisfaction of the patients. Patients are always satisfied whenever they get the information they require online. Data gathering helps the healthcare industry in detecting any form of fraud before it takes place.
Challenges
Data gathering promotes privacy concerns in the healthcare industry. Although the majority of the healthcare facilities see the data gathering as a means of medical breakthroughs, not every facility is on board. The privacy concerns are a few issues that face the healthcare industry while gathering data. Data gathering promotes some technical problems in the healthcare industry (Sadoughi & Safaei, 2019). When the database system goes down, then it means the entire computer system within the healthcare facility will have to breakdown as well.

CPTED
CPTED, (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) are the principles that are developed and set aside for the purpose of discouraging crimes thus promoting security in the society (Crowe, 2014). In the year 1987 in Las Vegas, the ASIS adopted the use of the CPTED in its operation for the purpose of improving its store security. Moreover, in the year 1987, the NAUPE (national association of urban planning educators) programmed the use of the CPTED session in the academic level as this is the level to get to most of the youth since youths have been identified to be the majority of the people who are found committing crimes. Moreover, the Florida state passed the CPTED- related policies and laws “ safe neighborhood act.”
Some of the strategies that are being applied in the CPTED to curb crimes are as follows; environmental security- this involved law enforcement (Lawrence, 2012), social management, activity and target hardening to control crimes. natural crime prevention- these are naturals ways that are being applied to control crime in society. Safer cities- CPTED ensured that cities were free from crimes by the use of natural strategies to control crimes. Situational crime prevention- this comprised of law enforcement and crime prevention plans. Defensible space- the CPTED developed this plan for the control of crime in the public housing environment.
Implication
It has been proven that the application of CPTED concepts in society has reduced crime incidences and fear of crime. Some of the ways that CPTED concepts have helped most of the companies that applied them are as follows (Vagi, 2018);
· Stores have been in a position to increase their sales and they have been in apposition to minimize losses via robberies up to 70% and from theft 50%.
· Corporations such as Mobil and Disney World have been able to minimize losses and improve their production.
· Most states such as Toronto and their neighborhoods have been in a position to reduce burglaries, drug sales, and other crimes from 20% to 100%.
· As a result of schools applying CPTED strategies, they have been able to reduce the number of crimes in schools such as bullying and drug trafficking thus improving academic performances.
· In the transport sector, crimes in some areas such as Toronto, Washington have been drastically reduced.

Implications of CPTED on Physical Security
The prevention of crime cases via environmental design is generally applicable to most of the spots independent of the available elements. Usually, most of the people tend to respond to their conditions with less attention given to whether to think of it or not. When there is a proper outline of the terms, the concerned feels more anchored, and this helps in diminishing the criminal movements (Tseloni, Thompson & Tilley, 2018). When CPTED is employed on physical security, the concerned personnel are blue to accomplish their robust and anchored gaps through the viable outline.
One of the significant shortcomings within physical security is the failure to understand the crimes and the potential criminals. Mostly, this is realized when soaring occurs on commercial burglary rates and residential effects. For a project in the physical setting to benefit maximally from CPTED physical security, there must be enlightenment on viable physical planning(Gibson & Johnson, 2016). It helps to make contributions to the success of the project considerably.
The physical security setting in CPTED does not create a fortress that is penetrable. However, it aims at making the penetration process a bit time consuming and hard. These factors make the probability of occurrence of the crime cases minimal, considering the much time required to make a penetration through the setting. The elements of CPTED ought to be familiar and easily understandable to the security professional (Gibson & Johnson, 2016). When CPTED is in physical security, it puts more emphasis on how the tools will be used to impact the project, unlike the way it is customarily done. The security program is made to be integrated into the environment and not only added on.
