Elijay Community Hospital

You have been asked to develop a database system for the Elijah Community Hospital.  ECH is a small, local community hospital with approximately 125 beds.  The basic goal is to provide highquality, cost-effective health-care services for the surrounding community in North Georgia.  

The various business functions that the hospital currently has are:

• Patient care administration software-record keeping aspects of patient care
• Clinic and lab services software-provides lab testing and procedures and patient monitoring & screening
• Patient care software-provide patients with medical care and support services
• Financial management software-manage the financial resources and operations of the hospital
• Administrative services software-provide general management and support services not directly related to patient care

The staff on the hospital includes 600 full-time and 200 part-time personnel including doctors, registered nurses, laboratory technicians, counselors, rehabilitation therapists, social services staff, admittance/discharge staff, insurance staff, janitorial staff, and security staff.

Patients may get many services from personnel, many tests and many treatments on the hospital.

A database system for the Elijah Community Hospital would have many tables. Draw ER/EER diagram for the following entities: 

PATIENT: PatientID, Name, DOB, Age, Gender, Address, Email, Phone (one or two)

BED: BedNumber, PatientID

PERSONNEL: PersonnelID, Name, Phone, Email (one or two), Address, Hire-date, Position

DEPARTMENT: DepartmentCode, DepartmentName

TREATMENT: TreatmentCode, TreatmentDescription, TreatmentCost

TEST: TestCode, TestDescription, TestCost

Add new attributes to several of your entities if there is a need.

Note: use Dia tool or Visio to draw the diagram.
