Patient information database

You are the information technology director for a large tertiary care center. You were asked to create a database that will collect patient information for the oncology department. You narrowed your database structure to either a relational or a Not Only Sequential Query Language(NoSQL) database model. The head of oncology asked that you attend a meeting to elaborate on the ability of these models to meet his team’s needs and get their feedback prior to making a final decision. Compose your arguments for each model to share with the oncology team. Make a recommendation for the type of database that you would recommend to best meet their needs. Give reasons for your choice.
