The management decided that manually maintaining such records was a cumbersome
process. It also gave rise to data redundancy and record duplication. Therefore, to
streamline the entire process, the best solution was to create databases and convert
the manual process to a computerized process.

computerizing the staffing process of New Project Ltd. The development team has the
following tasks to perform:
1. Identify the various entities involved.
2. Identify the attributes that completely define the entities.
3. Draw an E/R diagram to demonstrate the relationship between the various
entities.
4. Map the E/R diagram to the tables.
5. Normalize the tables to 3 NF.
6. Identify the primary and foreign keys in the tables.
7. Draw a diagram to show the relationships between the various tables.
Background
NewHope Hospital is a famous name in the United States in the field of medical
sciences. The hospital has a dedicated team of doctors and researchers who are
continuously working to build a better and healthy society. Today, NewHope has a
capacity of 1,500 beds and its Out Patient Department (OPD) can handle nearly 100
patients in a day.
Existing System
Every year, several thousands of patients are treated at NewHope. The hospital
maintains a record of each patient in the Patient Details register. The record of a
patient includes the name and address of the patient, nature of treatment done, and
name of the doctor who treated the patient. The medical history of each patient is
maintained in Medical History register by the NewHope staff. The medical history of
the patients is maintained for future reference for similar cases or if the same patient
is re-admitted. The medical history record of a patient is filed according to the ward
where the patient was admitted last. Information related to the various wards is
recorded in the Ward Details register. The various wards at NewHope hospital are:
Out Patient Department (OPD)
Intensive Care Unit (ICU)
Cardiac Care Unit (CCU)
Special Wards
General Wards
Emergency Unit
The details recorded in the Ward Details register also include the number of rooms
and beds in each ward and their availability status.

Details register. The register is used to store details about doctors such as the doctor’s
name, the ID number, the contact number, the employment type (resident/visiting),
the area of specialization, the ward assigned.

Envisioned System
With the increase in the number of records of patients, it has become difficult for the
staff at NewHope to maintain the details of all the patients. At times, the large volume
of patient information results in a delay in updating the patient records. Therefore, the
management of NewHope has decided to computerize the process of maintaining the
patient records.
The NewHope management has contacted RedSky Systems to develop a computerized
system. RedSky Systems has deputed Project Manager James Morrison to manage this
assignment. James and his team need to perform the following tasks:
1. Identify the various entities involved.
2. Identify the attributes that completely define the entities.
3. Draw an E/R diagram to demonstrate the relationship between the various
entities.
4. Map the E/R diagram to the tables.
5. Normalize the tables to 3 NF.
6. Identify the primary and foreign keys in the tables.
7. Draw a diagram to show the relationships between the various tables.
Background
Fit-n-Fine Health Club is a recreational club that provides various fitness- and health-
related services to its members. The club has many branches in the city. All Fit-n-Fine
branches have a top-quality gymnasium and health facilities for its members. In
addition, the club provides premium services such as sauna/steam baths, yoga
classes, aerobic classes, and a Olympic-size swimming pool facility. All the branches
employ well-qualified instructors/coaches for the various services provided. This has
resulted in an exponential increase in the number of registered members.
Existing System
The club’s Customer Relations (CR) department serves as a liaison between the club
and its members. The main responsibility of this department is to enhance the image
of Fit-n-Fine, provide various details about the club to the prospective as well as
existing members, perform the registration process for the new members, and
monitor the feedback given by the members about the facilities and services of the
club. The details about the employees of the CR staff are maintained in a Staff Details
register.
Presently, the CR staff maintains a Membership Details register. It contains an
enumeration of the various plans offered (Premium/Standard/Guest), the
corresponding plan IDs, and the fee for each plan. A Plan Details register is also
maintained by the staff. This register contains a list of all the facilities included in each
plan. Whenever someone visits the front office of the health club and makes an
enquiry about the plans offered, the attending officer on duty refers to the
Plan Details register to inform the visitor about the club’s services.
The details of the registered members are recorded by the staff in the Member Details
register. These details include the member’s ID, the name, the subscribed plan, the
contact number, and the contact address.
Whenever a member wishes to visit the club to use a facility, he or she needs to book
the facility in advance by providing information such as the desired day and the time.
On receiving such a request from a member, the staff refers to the Booking Details
register to check the booking status of the desired facility. In case the facility is
already booked to capacity for the same day and time slot, the new request is
rejected. On the other hand, if the number of persons requesting the use of the facility
on the desired day and time has not reached the specified capacity, the new request is
accepted and the booking status is updated. The status is marked as booked after the
maximum number allowed is reached.
Envisioned System
Fit-n-Fine Health Club requires a computerized system that provides an effective
method of storing all such details. The manager of the Customer Relations
Department, Jim Morris, realizes that it is becoming increasingly difficult to manually
maintain the various registers. Fit-n-Fine also wants to include the information about
employees who interact with the members while recording their feedback. Therefore,
the management of the club has decided to computerize all the processes. To fulfill
this need, the club management has contacted IT4Enterprises, Inc. to develop the
computerized system. Tony Cage, a project manager working with IT4Enterprises Inc.,
has been asked to manage this assignment. Tony and his team need to perform the
following tasks:
1. Identify the various entities involved.
2. Identify the attributes that completely define the entities.
3. Draw an E/R diagram to demonstrate the relationship between the various
entities.
4. Map the E/R diagram to the tables.
