Q The topic of your essay is to design a language for the problem domain of Health Management, such as applications which deal with patient records in a hospital. Health management encompasses a number of areas including aspects of business, finance, and customer relations. It is worth thinking about the aspects of a health management system in terms of a number of features, including:  Performance;  Use and precision of data types and structures;  Maintenance of code;  Flexibility of design and implementation; and School of Science, Engineering and Information Technology CRICOS Provider No. 00103D Page 2 of 3  Robustness requirements in such a critical domain. Even though security aspects are worth considering, the features of the language are the primary concern in this essay. With this in mind your task is to theoretically design a language suitable for the use within the health management domain. The actual implementation of the language and tool set is obviously outside the scope of this course, but you must express and justify the design decisions behind your programming language in terms of:  The features and functionality that will allow your language to be suitable and useful within the health management domain (including what differentiates it from existing languages),  The programming paradigms, such as procedural, object oriented, logic and functional programming. You are free to design your language to be either interpreted, compiled or to work in a hybrid manner, but you must thoroughly justify your decision. All language design choices must be sound, rational decisions which are backed up by robust discussion of the subject area. In addition, your document should include numerous references to back up any and all specific claims that you make. All references should be made in the APA referencing style.
