Executive Summary

While there have been successful and comprehensive healthcare systems to improve patient outcomes, a better HMS(Hospital Management System) can always enhance efficiency. This project is designed to gather examples of past attempts, develop a high-level representation of the extent of work, and provide an in-depth analysis of data utilized in the hospital management system. This representation will include various data models that consider representations of the data needed for appointment scheduling, hospital operations, and tracking finances.

In this report, we start with our dataset's logic design and modeling. First, we designed our ER/EER diagram, along with all underlying assumptions, which visually presents the entities and relationships between them. In the next section, we focus on the relational schema, where the logical diagram is transformed into a database diagram incorporating more detailed information. Then, we normalize the tables to ensure they all conform to 3NF. Lastly, we conclude the design with a short summary.

Problem Description

The conventional Hospital Management System has been facing challenges; information is difficult to retrieve. For instance, patients’ Identification numbers are unique throughout the system for each patient, and traditionally, this process is done manually. Therefore, errors occur in transaction processes, and it takes time and effort to handle and secure patient information and diagnosis data. This data model is made to improve the hospital management system, to register and maintain patient information for staff to access and update the information when needed. Simultaneous updates and changes are made and stored in the databases by administrators or receptionists.

1. Conceptual Design

Here is the EER diagram generated based on our project description and real-life experiences.

1.1 EER Diagram with all assumptions

Figure 1. EER Design for Hospital Management System Database

1.2 Crow Foot Notation for Relationship

This section examines the min-max notations used in the EER diagram to portray the relationships between entities. Crow Foot notations are elaborated upon in Table 1 to facilitate comprehension and interpretation of the relationships that exist in the relational database.

2. Relational Schema

The diagram highlights the relationships between each table by showing how each foreign key is connected to the primary key of the parent table. It is a blueprint to show how information is correlated and retrieved in the database. For example, putting the Emp_ID in the Nurse and Doctor table allows their respective information to be retrieved when Emp_ID is called in a query.

3. Normalization

In this part, we apply the principles of normalization to ensure all the tables conform to 3NF.

I. Patient Table

1NF Compliance: The table is in the First Normal Form (1NF) since it contains only atomic (indivisible) values in each column, and there are no repeating groups.

2NF Compliance: It is also in the Second Normal Form (2NF) because it has a primary key, “patient_id,” which uniquely identifies each row, and all non-key attributes are fully functionally dependent on the primary key.

3NF Compliance: The table is in the Third Normal Form (3NF) because it has no transitive dependencies. All non-key attributes are directly dependent on the primary key “patient_id.”

Functional Dependencies:

patient_id → patient_fname, patient_lname, Phone_no, blood_group, email, gender, condition, admission_date, discharge_date

This set of functional dependencies implies that each patient’s name, phone number, blood group, email, gender, condition, admission date, and discharge date are directly determined by their unique patient ID. As a result, the “Patient” table is in 3NF.

II. Lab Screening Table

1NF Compliance: The table is in the First Normal Form (1NF) as it contains atomic values in each column, and there are no repeating groups.

2NF Compliance: It is in the Second Normal Form (2NF) because it has a composite primary key consisting of “Lab_id” and “patient_id,” which uniquely identifies each row, and all non-key attributes are fully functionally dependent on this composite key.

3NF Compliance: The table is also in the Third Normal Form (3NF) because it has no transitive dependencies. All non-key attributes are directly dependent on the composite primary key, “Lab_id” and “patient_id.”

Functional Dependencies:

(Lab_id, patient_id) → technician_id, doctor_id, test_cost, date

This set of functional dependencies indicates that for each specific laboratory screening instance, which is identified by the combination of “Lab_id” and “patient_id,” the attributes “technician_id,” “doctor_id,” “test_cost,” and “date” are directly determined. This structure promotes data integrity and efficiency in managing lab screening records. As a result, the table is in 3NF.

III. Medicine Table

1NF Compliance: All attributes must be atomic, which means that they cannot be further divided. In this table, the attributes appear atomic, so it satisfies 1NF.

2NF Compliance: For a table to be in 2NF, it must first be in 1NF. Then, it must have no partial dependencies. A partial dependency occurs when an attribute depends on only a part of the candidate key.

Assuming that medicine_id is the candidate key, the Patient_id attribute appears to depend on the candidate key (medicine_id), indicating that it associates a patient with a specific medicine. This might be a partial dependency issue.

The presence of Patient_id in the “Medicine” table suggests that it might have a functional dependency on the patient for whom the medicine is prescribed. This indicates a potential partial dependency, which would mean that the table is not in 2NF. To bring the table to 2NF and resolve this issue, we created a separate table for the prescription or association between patients and medicines.

Functional Dependencies:

prescription_id -> medicine_id, patient_id, date, dosage, doctor_id medicine_id -> name, medicine_cost, quantity
medicine_id -> name, medicine_cost, quantity

3NF Compliance: Both tables are in the Third Normal Form (3NF) because they meet the requirements of 1NF (atomic attributes), 2NF (no partial dependencies), and 3NF (no transitive dependencies). In these tables, attributes depend directly on the candidate keys, and there are no indirect dependencies.

IV. Emergency Contact Table

1NF Compliance: The table is in the First Normal Form (1NF) as it contains atomic values in each column, and there are no repeating groups.

2NF Compliance: It is also in the Second Normal Form (2NF) because it has a primary key, “contact_id,” which uniquely identifies each row, and all non-key attributes are fully functionally dependent on the primary key.

3NF Compliance: The table satisfies the Third Normal Form (3NF) because it has no transitive dependencies. All non-key attributes directly depend on the primary key, “contact_id,” and “patient_id.”

Functional Dependencies:

contact_id → contact_name, number, relation, patient_id

This set of functional dependencies indicates that for each unique emergency contact identified by “contact_id,” the attributes “contact_name,” “number,” “relation,” and “patient_id” are directly determined.

V. Room Table

1NF Compliance: The table is in the First Normal Form (1NF) because it contains atomic values in each column, and there are no repeating groups.

2NF Compliance: It is also in the Second Normal Form (2NF) since it has a primary key, “room_id,” which uniquely identifies each row, and all non-key attributes are fully functionally dependent on the primary key.

3NF Compliance: The table satisfies the Third Normal Form (3NF) because it does not contain any transitive dependencies. All non-key attributes are directly dependent on the primary key, “room_id.”

Functional Dependencies:

room_id → room_type, patient_id, room_cost

This set of functional dependencies indicates that for each individual room, identified by “room_id,” the attributes “room_type,” “patient_id,” and “room_cost” are directly determined. There are no transitive dependencies, ensuring the “Room” table is well-structured and adheres to 3NF principles.

VI. Employee Table

1NF Compliance: The table is in the First Normal Form (1NF) because it contains atomic values in each column, and there are no repeating groups.

2NF Compliance: It is in the Second Normal Form (2NF) since it has a primary key, “emp_id,” which uniquely identifies each row, and all non-key attributes are fully functionally dependent on the primary key.

3NF Compliance: The “Employee” table as provided does not fully satisfy the Third Normal Form (3NF) due to a transitive dependency between the “department_id” and “department_name” attributes. The “department_name” depends on “department_id,” which itself depends on the “emp_id,” violating the 3NF principles.

Functional Dependencies:

emp_id → emp_name, DoB, joining_date, emp_type, email, address, data_of_leaving, department_id, SSN department_id → department_name

To bring the table into 3NF, we separated the “department_id” and “department_name” into a separate table that links department details to employees

With this there are no transitive or partial dependencies in any of the 2 table, So they conform to the 3NF normal form.

VII. Doctor Table

1NF Compliance: Each column in the table contains atomic (indivisible) values, meeting the requirements of 1NF.

2NF Compliance: The table goes beyond 1NF by having a primary key, “doctor_id,” which uniquely identifies each row. All non-key attributes are fully functionally dependent on the primary key, adhering to 2NF principles.

Functional Dependencies:

doctor_id → qualifications, patient_id, specialization, employee_id

3NF Compliance: The table satisfies the Third Normal Form (3NF) because it does not contain any transitive dependencies. All non-key attributes are directly dependent on the primary key, “Doctor_id.”

VIII. Nurse Table

1NF Compliance: The table is in the First Normal Form (1NF) as it contains atomic values in each column, and there are no repeating groups.

2NF Compliance: It is also in the Second Normal Form (2NF) because it has a primary key, “nurse_id,” which uniquely identifies each row, and all non-key attributes are fully functionally dependent on the primary key.

3NF Compliance: The table satisfies the Third Normal Form (3NF) because it does not contain any transitive dependencies. All non-key attributes are directly dependent on the primary key, “nurse_id.”

Functional Dependencies:

nurse_id → patient_id, emp_id

This set of functional dependencies indicates that for each individual nurse, identified by “nurse_id,” the attributes “patient_id” and “emp_id” are directly determined. There are no transitive dependencies, ensuring that the “Nurse” table is well-structured and adheres to 3NF principles.

IX. Bill Table

1NF Compliance: The table is in the First Normal Form (1NF) because it contains atomic values in each column, and there are no repeating groups.

2NF Compliance: It is also in the Second Normal Form (2NF) since it has a primary key, “payment_id,” which uniquely identifies each row, and all non-key attributes are fully functionally dependent on the primary key.

3NF Compliance: The table satisfies the Third Normal Form (3NF) because it does not contain any transitive dependencies. All non-key attributes are directly dependent on the primary key, “payment_id” and “p_id.”

Functional Dependencies:

payment_id, p_id → date, room_cost, test_cost, othercharges, m_cost, total

This set of functional dependencies indicates that for each payment and associated patient (identified by “payment_id” and “p_id”), the attributes “date,” “room_cost,” “test_cost,” “othercharges,” “m_cost,” and “total” are directly determined. There are no transitive dependencies, ensuring that the “Bill” table is well-structured and adheres to 3NF principles.

X. Medical History Table

1NF Compliance: The table is in the First Normal Form (1NF) because it contains atomic values in each column, and there are no repeating groups.

2NF Compliance: It is also in the Second Normal Form (2NF) since it has a primary key, “patient_id,” which uniquely identifies each row, and all non-key attributes are fully functionally dependent on the primary key.

3NF Compliance: The table satisfies the Third Normal Form (3NF) because it does not contain any transitive dependencies. All non-key attributes are directly dependent on the primary key, “patient_id.”

Functional Dependencies:

patient_id → allergies, pre_conditions

This set of functional dependencies indicates that for each patient, identified by “patient_id,” the attributes “allergies” and “pre_conditions” are directly determined. There are no transitive dependencies, ensuring that the “Medical History” table is well-structured and adheres to 3NF principles.

XI. Insurance Table

2NF Compliance: It is also in the Second Normal Form (2NF) since it has a primary key, “p_id,” which uniquely identifies each row, and all non-key attributes are fully functionally dependent on the primary key.

3NF Compliance: The table satisfies the Third Normal Form (3NF) because it does not contain any transitive dependencies. All non-key attributes are directly dependent on the primary key, “p_id.”

Functional Dependencies:

p_id → policy_number, ins_code, expiry_date, ins_company, ins_plan, co_pay, med_coverage, maternity, dental, optical

This set of functional dependencies indicates that for each patient and their insurance information, identified by “p_id,” the attributes like “policy_number,” “ins_code,” “expiry_date,” “ins_company,” “ins_plan,” “co_pay,” “med_coverage,” “maternity,” “dental,” and “optical” are directly determined. There are no transitive dependencies, ensuring that the “Insurance” table is well-structured and adheres to 3NF principles.

XII. Payroll Table

1NF Compliance: The table is in the First Normal Form (1NF) because it contains atomic values in each column, and there are no repeating groups.

5. Query Scenario Design

Query 01: The hospital management wants to calculate the total revenue generated by the hospital, including room charges, lab screening charges, and other miscellaneous charges, for a specific date range.

SELECT DATE_FORMAT(b.Date, '%Y-%m-%d') AS Billing_Date,     
SUM(b.Room_Cost + b.Test_Cost + b.Other_Charges + b.M_Cost) AS Total_Revenue
FROM bill b
WHERE b.Date BETWEEN '2023-12-01' AND '2023-12-31'
GROUP BY DATE_FORMAT(b.Date, '%Y-%m-%d')
ORDER BY DATE_FORMAT(b.Date, '%Y-%m-%d');

6. Conclusion

In conclusion, this data model was made to help hospital staff maintain information and improve access, making the retrieval process easier. The Hospital database management must be improved or upgraded to meet any situation. In this report, we discuss and design the relational schema of the Hospital Management System Database. Our EER diagram and its associated relational schema show the conceptual and logical designs of the system. We also defined data types, assumptions and constraints for each attribute in the relations. The next step is to implement this database and change the design accordingly. The developed system and its evaluation should be carried out to improve the database system and management processes in hospitals. It is capable of storing a variety and large volume of databases. More so, the software has been designed to include program modules to handle the Medical Centre information such as patients’ data, supply management, patients bill etc. Thus, this software contains the database files of patients, doctors, nurses, and departments of a hospital and should provide the necessary information which will be compatible, accurate, flexible, secured and efficient for the desired purpose it is to serve.
