Assignment Brief and Guidance
Aim:

Suppose you are hired as a trainee Software Engineer by ABC hospital and you are assign to design and develop
a Database for the hospital.
ABC hospital is a multi-specialty hospital that includes a number of departments, rooms, doctors, nurses,
compounders and other staff working in the hospital.
Patients having different kinds of illnesses come to the hospital and get checkup done from the concerned
doctors. If required they are admitted in the hospital and discharged after treatments.
The aim of this case study is to design and develop a database for the hospital to maintain the records
of various departments, patients and doctors in the hospital

Description:
 In hospital, there are many departments like Orthopedic, Pathology, Emergency, Dental, Gynecology,
Anesthetics, I.C.U., Laboratory etc. A department is describing by its name, department location, and
facilities available.
 There are two types of the doctors in the hospital (identify by a unique ID), namely, regular doctors
and call on doctors. Hospital needs to store personal details of doctors like name, qualification,
address, phone number, salary, date of joining, etc.
 Regular doctors are those doctors who come to the hospital daily. It is required to store payment as
monthly salary for regular doctors.
 Calls on doctors are those doctors who are called by the hospital if the concerned doctor is not
available. Fees per call and payment due need to be store related to this doctor category.
 You need to store the details about the patients. Hospital needs to record the patient details when any
patient arrives in the hospital for a check-up. When patient arrives, a patient number is generated
which acts as a primary key. Other details like name, age, sex, address, city, phone number, entry date,
name of the doctor referred to and department name are also stored.
 After making entry, patients go to the concerned doctor’s room and the doctor checks up their
illnesses. According to the illnesses, the doctor either prescribes medicine or admits the patient in the
concerned department.
 Details of regular patients are stored separately which includes date of visit, diagnosis, treatment,
status of treatment, etc.
 When patient is admitted, his/her related details are need to be stored separately. Information stored
includes patient number, advance payment, mode of payment, room number, department, date of
admission, initial condition, diagnosis, treatment, referred doctor etc.
 Whenever a patient gets discharged from the hospital, it is required store details like patient number,
treatment given, payment made, mode of payment, date of discharge, etc.
 The patient who admitted to the hospital may choose either private or general room according to
his/her need. Room number (unique), room type (general or private), status (whether occupied or not)
and if occupied, then patient number etc.

Activity 2
2.1)
Develop the database system with evidence of user interface, output and data validations, and
querying across multiple tables.
a) Develop a relational database system according to the ER diagram you have created in
Assignement1. (Use SQL DDL Statements)
b) Provide evidence of the use of a suitable IDE to create a simple interface to insert, update and
delete data in the database.
c) Implement the validation methods explained in Assignment 1 activity 1.2-part c.
d) Display the details related to the Hospital Management database using Join queries

2.2)
a) Explain the usage of DML with below mentioned queries by giving at least one single example
per each case from the developed database.
 Select
 Update
 Delete
Note: - The queries you have selected should be meaningful and relevant to the given scenario.
b) Explain the validation mechanisms to validate data in the tables with examples.

2.3)
a) Explain how security mechanisms have been used and the importance of these mechanisms
for the security of the database.
b) Implement proper security mechanisms (EX: -User groups, access permissions) in the
developed database.

2.4)
Explain the usage of the below SQL statements with the examples from the developed database.
 Group by
 Order by
 Having
 Between
 Where

Activity 3
3.1)
a) Provide a suitable test plan to test the system against user and system requirements
b) Provide relevant test cases for the database you have implemented
Note: - Learner needs to give expected results in a tabular format and screenshots of the
actual results with the conclusion.

3.2)
Explain how the selected test data in task 3.1 can be used to improve the effectiveness of testing.
3.3)
Get independent feedback on your database solution from nontechnical users and some
developers (use surveys, questioners, interviews or any other feedback collecting method) and
make recommendations and suggestions for improvements in conclusion/ recommendations
section.

6 of 7
Activity 4
4.1)
Prepare a simple users’ guide and a technical documentation for the support and maintenance of the
software.
4.2)
Your technical documentation should include some of the UML diagrams (Use case diagram Class
diagram, etc.) and flow charts for the important functionalities.
4.3)
Suggest the future improvements that may be required to ensure the continued effectiveness of the
database system.
