BIS 245 A Small Surgery
... [Show More] Center Case Study Week 3 & Week 5
Scenario
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.
1. Please identify the attributes and primary keys needed for each of the entities.
2. Identify the data types you would use for each of the attributes.
3. Determine the relationships between the entities and find the one-to-many and many-tomany relationships.
o Use the ER matrix to determine the relationships.
4. Create an ER diagram using Visio based on your analysis.
5. Identify all foreign keys needed in the database design.
6. Create the database in Access and populate the tables.
7. To use the database as the main office application, what other entities and attributes might
be needed?
NOTE: The Case Study is an individual project.

Scenario/Summary
You have been asked to create two conceptual database models using MS Visio Database Model
Diagram Template. The purpose of this lab is to have you gain familiarity with the various
modeling tools needed to create a conceptual model (entity relationship diagram) of a database.
You will create two conceptual models.
You will then open an existing Access database to explore database objects, and to experiment
with simple data manipulation using filters and sorts, and to begin elementary work with
relationships.
Upon completing this lab, you will be able to do the following.
Relying on detailed instructions, create a simple conceptual model for a two-table database using
MS Visio.
Use experience gained in creating the first model to construct a similar conceptual model without
the instructions.
Download an existing Microsoft Access database file. Open the database, find and identify
different database objects in this database.
Preview:
1. Lab 1 Part C Questions:
2. Entities in the conceptual model eventually are converted to tables in the database, and
the attributes convert to the fields within the tables. Given this information, list the attributes
(fields) found in the supplier table. [Show Less]
