Problem Definition

This program is designed to input the Name of the Region, the name of the Health Facility,
Patient ID and Type of virus each patient contracted, determine and output which Northern
Regional Health Authority has the largest number of contracted viruses, the Total number of
patients who contacted each virus and a list of patients who contracted the virus in that RHA
(the list includes Patient ID, Type of virus and Health Facility Name).

Problem-Solving Process

1. Input Requirements:
o The algorithm should accept inputs:
 Name of the Region (Northern RHA, NCRHA, NWRHA, etc.)
 Health Facility Name
 PatientID
 Type of Virus contracted by each patient.
2. Processing Requirements:
o For each region, calculate the total number of virus cases.
o Identify the region with the highest number of contracted viruses.
o For each virus type within each RHA, create a list of patients including their
PatientID, Virus Type, and Health Facility.
3. Output Requirements:
o Display the region with the highest number of virus cases.
o Display the total count of patients per virus type.
o Display a list of patients per virus type for each RHA, showing their
PatientID, Virus Type, and Health Facility Name.
 4. Defining Diagram:
o Input: Region Name, Health Facility Name, PatientID, Virus Type
o Process:
 Count virus cases by region.
 Identify the RHA with the most cases.
 Generate a list of patient details by virus type for each region.
o Output: Largest virus count by RHA, total cases by virus, and detailed patient
lists.

A dictionary is a data structure that holds a collection of data as a set of key-

value pairs. Each key, which must be unique, has an associated value.
Typically, the keys in a dictionary must be simple data types (such as integers
or strings) while the values can be of any type.

List of Variables
Input Variables:

 regionName: String – The name of the region.

 healthFacilityName: String – The name of the health facility within the region.
 patientID: String – A unique identifier assigned to each patient.
 virusType: String – The specific type of virus that the patient has contracted.

Data Structures:

 *rhaData: Dictionary – This is a dictionary where the keys are region names, and the
values are dictionaries containing:
 *patientCount: Dictionary – Stores the count of patients for each type of virus.
 *patients: List – A list of tuples, where each tuple contains (patientID, virusType,
healthFacilityName).

Output Variables:

 largestRHA: String – The name of the RHA that has the highest number of
contracted viruses.
 *totalPatientsPerVirus: Dictionary – A dictionary that holds the total number of
patients for each type of virus within the largest RHA.

Extra information

 region_cases: Dictionary to store counts of virus cases by RHA.

 virus_count: Dictionary of dictionaries to store virus counts by region.
 patient_list: Dictionary of dictionaries to store patient details by virus type for each
region.
 5. Required Programming Constructs:

 Data Structures: Arrays (lists, dictionaries) to store and organize data by region,
virus type, and patient details.
 Loops: To iterate through patient data.
 Conditionals: To compare virus counts and identify the region with the most cases.
 Sorting: (If necessary) for organizing lists by virus or patient details.

Pseudocode Algorithm

Explanation of the Pseudocode

1.Input Loop:
The algorithm continues to gather data until the user chooses to stop. It checks if the region is
already present in the `rhaData` dictionary and initializes it if it's not.

2.Data Storage:
For each patient, the algorithm updates the virus count and adds the patient's information (ID,
virus type, and health facility) to the appropriate list.

3.Finding the Largest RHA:

Once all the data is collected, the algorithm loops through each RHA to sum the total number
of contracted viruses. It tracks the region with the highest virus count.

4.Output:
At the end, the algorithm outputs the RHA with the most virus cases, the total number of
patients for each virus type, and a detailed list of patients who contracted viruses within that
RHA.

Initialization:
 Create an empty list, data, to store patient records.
 Initialize virus_count as an empty dictionary to track the number of cases for each
virus.
  Initialize rha_count as an empty dictionary to track virus cases by region.
 Initialize patient_details as an empty dictionary to store detailed information for each
region.

Data Entry Loop for NCRHA:

For each patient in the NCRHA dataset:

Input Details:
Region: NCRHA
Health Facility:
Patient ID: ArimAP775
Virus Type: Dengue

Process Data:
1. Add the patient record to data.
2. Increment the count for Dengue in virus_count.
3. Update the count for NCRHA in rha_count.
4. Add the patient's details to the list for NCRHA in patient_details.
5. Repeat for each additional patient, ensuring counts and details are updated
accordingly.

Data Entry Loop for NWRHA:

For each patient in the NWRHA dataset:

Input Details:
Region:
Health Facility:
Patient ID:
Virus Type: Dengue

Process Data:
1. Add the patient record to data.
2. Increment the count for Dengue in virus_count.
3. Update the count for NWRHA in rha_count.
4. Add the patient's details to the list for NWRHA in patient_details.
5. Repeat for each additional patient, ensuring counts and details are updated
accordingly.
