QUESTION 2
You are assigned to design a Hospital Management System for Klang Valley Medical Center. The
following are requirements of the system:

There are three types of employee in this hospital which are physician (medical doctor), nurse and
administration. Unlike administration staff, a physician and a nurse staff has special attributes. A
physician has a qualification and expert area. A nurse staff has position and ward_id where she is
placed
A physician treats many patients and a patient can be treated by more than one physician
Each treatment has prescription. The prescription has a prescription_id, date, product code, dosage
and amount.
A patient can be placed in a ward
A ward is serviced by several nurse staffs. The ward information has ward number, building, ward
type and number of beds.

Based on the above information, create a complete ER diagram that shows all entities, relationships,
attributes and connectivity (by using Crow’s Foot). Prepare the relational schema for the diagram
developed.
Information about a flight includes its unique flight number, its origin, destination and estimated
departure and arrival times. To reduce costs, the MalBol operation only has nonstop with a single
origin and destination.
Flights are scheduled for one or more dates with an airplane and a crew assigned to each flight.
(This means that the same flight number may be scheduled on different dates using different
airplanes and a different set of crewmembers). In a crew assignment, the employee number and the
role (eg. Captain, flight attendant) are noted.

Airplanes have a unique serial number, a model, a capacity and next-scheduled-maintenance date
The maintenance record of an airplane includes a unique maintenance number, a date, a
description, the serial number of the plane and the employee responsible for the repairs.
Employees have a unique employee number, a name, a phone and a job title.
Customer has a unique customer number, a phone number and a name
A record is maintained of flight reservations including a unique reservation number, a flight number,
a customer number, a date, a fare and a payment method (cash or credit card). If the payment is by
credit card, a credit card number and an expiry date of the card are also recorded.
