摘要

The improvement in the management of Public Health through the public health management system (PHMS) has become a bottleneck. Although the management of a large number of patients' information has been studied, their networking aspect remains a challenge in prompt assessment of their records. With a view to bringing about an efficient management system, the Software Defined Networking (SDN) Technology came up with an interesting idea to properly manage network operation flow. The SDN technology enables the controller(s) to regulate the control flow in a logical manner through its intelligent control. This paper proposed a framework based on SDN to optimise the performance of large-scale PHMS. As a measure for better healthcare records, the proposed technology provides a reliable system to address huge patients' data request that is imminent. This article motivates experimentally, the need to despise the historical fear of new technology in PHMS as against the conventional/old practices.
