A small surgery center needs your help to create a database. The office manager has identified the following types of data (entities): patients, doctors, procedures and appointments using the following business rules:
- Patients can have many doctors and many doctors can see many patients.
- Patients can have many procedures and many procedures are done on patients.
- Doctors can have multiple appointments. (hint: these are many to many relationships, so associative tables need to be added)
Question 1: Please identify the attributes and primary keys needed for each of the entities.
Question 2: Identify the data types you would use for each of the attributes.
Question 3: Determine the relationships between the entities and find the one-to-many and many-to-many relationships.
Question 4: Use the ER matrix to determine the relationships.
Question 5: Create an ER diagram using Visio including the associative tables based on your analysis.
Question 6: Identify all foreign keys needed in the database design.
Question 7: Create the database and relationships in Access and populate the tables using the spreadsheets.
Question 8: To use the database as the main office application, what other entities and attributes might be needed?
