Assignment Scenario Premise:
Community Health and Wellness Clinic offers preventive and traditional medical care. In your role as Nurse Informaticist, you will help Community Health develop a new database system.
Background
Three years ago, primary care providers John Anderson and Melanie Miller decided to combine their individual practices to form Community Health and Wellness Clinic. They wanted to concentrate on preventive medicine by helping patients maintain health and wellness. Dr. Anderson recently asked you to work with him as an IT consultant. He wants you to help Community Health develop an Access database system that will support the clinic's operation and future growth.
Part 1 - Creating Tables
Instructions for Table Creation:
Create an Access Database with the title Community Health and Wellness Clinic
• Create an Access Database table with the title: Providers
• Create a second Access Database table with the title: Nurses
• Create a third Access Database table with the title: Patients
• Create a fourth Access Database table with the title: Patient Records
The table Providers should have the following field names:
• Provider Last Name
• Provider First Name
• Provider ID
• Address
• Zip Code
• Office Telephone
• Mobile Phone
• E-mail address
The table Nurses should have the following field names:
• Nurse Last Name
• Nurse First Name
• Nurse ID
• Address
• Zip Code
• Office Telephone
• Mobile Phone
• E-mail address
The table Patients should have the following field names:
• Patient Last Name
• Patient First Name
• Medical Record Number
• Address
• Zip Code
• Office Telephone
• Mobile Phone
• E-mail address
The table Patient Records should have the following field names:
• Account Number
• Medical Record Number
• Provider ID
• Nurse ID
• Date Admitted
• Chief Complaint
Record Criteria
• Select the appropriate data type for each field in each table.
• Select the primary key for each table.
• Create ten (10) realistic database records for each of the tables. You may be creative as you enter the information in each field, but ensure that your entries are valid. For example, do not enter ABCDE into every field in an entry-include realistic names, numbers, etc.
• As you create 10 records for the PATIENT RECORDS table, make sure that the information in the Medical Record Number, Provider ID, and Nurse ID fields corresponds to previous information you entered into the PROVIDERS, NURSES, and PATIENTS tables. This will ensure that when you establish relationships and run queries, you will return meaningful results.
Note: A patient can have more than one record in PATIENT RECORDS because patients can have many visits to the clinic.
