ERD of _ A patient can make many appointments with one or more doctors in the clinic, and a doctor can accept

appointments with many patients. However, each appointment is made with only one doctor and one
patient.
_ Emergency cases do not require an appointment. However, for appointment management purposes, an
emergency is entered in the appointment book as “unscheduled.”
_ If kept, an appointment yields a visit with the doctor specified in the appointment. The visit yields a diagnosis
and, when appropriate, treatment.
_ With each visit, the patient’s records are updated to provide a medical history.
_ Each patient visit creates a bill. Each patient visit is billed by one doctor, and each doctor can bill many
patients.
_ Each bill must be paid. However, a bill may be paid in many installments, and a payment may cover more
than one bill.
_ A patient may pay the bill directly, or the bill may be the basis for a claim submitted to an insurance
company.
_ If the bill is paid by an insurance company, the deductible is submitted to the patient for payment.

1. Patient
2. Doctor
3. Appointment
4. Visit
5. Diagnosis
6. Treatment
7. Medical History
8. Bill
9. Payment
10. Insurance Company

Relationships:
1. Patient -> Appointment: (1 to many)
- A patient can make many appointments (scheduled visits) with one or more doctors.
- An appointment is made with only one patient.

2. Doctor -> Appointment: (1 to many)
- A doctor can accept appointments with many patients.
- An appointment is made with only one doctor.

3. Patient -> Visit: (1 to many)
- Each appointment (visit) yields a visit with the specified doctor.
- Each visit is associated with one patient.

4. Doctor -> Visit: (1 to many)
- Each appointment (visit) is made with only one doctor.
- Each doctor can have many appointments (visits).

5. Visit -> Diagnosis: (1 to 1)
- Each visit results in a diagnosis.
- Each diagnosis is associated with one visit.

6. Visit -> Treatment: (1 to many)
- Each visit may involve one or more treatments.
- Each treatment is associated with one visit.

7. Patient -> Medical History: (1 to 1)
- Each visit updates the patient's medical history.
- Each medical history is associated with one patient.

8. Doctor -> Bill: (1 to many)
- Each visit (appointment) creates a bill.
- Each bill is billed by one doctor.
- Each doctor can bill many patients.

9. Bill -> Payment: (1 to many)
- Each bill must be paid.
- Each bill may be paid in many installments.

- If the bill is paid by an insurance company, the deductible is submitted to the patient for payment.
- Each bill has one deductible.
- Each deductible is associated with one bill.

Note: The ERD does not include the relationships involving emergency cases as these cases do not require appointments and are entered separately as "unscheduled" in the appointment book.

To represent the relationships described in the scenario, we can create an Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD). Let's break down the relationships and entities involved:

Entities:
1. Patient
2. Doctor
3. Appointment
4. Visit
5. Diagnosis
6. Treatment
7. Medical History
8. Bill
9. Payment
10. Insurance Company
11. Deductible

Relationships:
1. A patient can make many appointments with one or more doctors in the clinic, and a doctor can accept appointments with many patients. However, each appointment is made with only one doctor and one patient.
- This is a many-to-many relationship between Patient and Doctor, which can be represented by a junction table called "Appointment" with foreign keys referencing Patient and Doctor.

2. Emergency cases do not require an appointment. However, for appointment management purposes, an emergency is entered in the appointment book as "unscheduled."
- We can include a flag or attribute in the Appointment table to indicate whether it's an emergency or not.

3. If kept, an appointment yields a visit with the doctor specified in the appointment. The visit yields a diagnosis and, when appropriate, treatment.
- This is a one-to-one relationship between Appointment and Visit. The Visit record will contain information about the diagnosis and treatment.

4. With each visit, the patient's records are updated to provide a medical history.
- This is a one-to-many relationship between Visit and Medical History. Each Visit can have multiple Medical History records, representing the ongoing history of the patient's visits.

5. Each patient visit creates a bill. Each patient visit is billed by one doctor, and each doctor can bill many patients.
- This is a one-to-many relationship between Visit and Bill. Each Bill will be associated with a Visit and a Doctor.

6. Each bill must be paid. However, a bill may be paid in many installments, and a payment may cover more than one bill.
- This is a many-to-many relationship between Bill and Payment. We can have a junction table called "PaymentBill" to track the payments made towards each bill.

7. A patient may pay the bill directly, or the bill may be the basis for a claim submitted to an insurance company.
- This is a many-to-one relationship between Bill and Insurance Company. Each Bill will have a foreign key referencing the Insurance Company if it's being claimed.

8. If the bill is paid by an insurance company, the deductible is submitted to the patient for payment.
- This is a one-to-many relationship between Insurance Company and Deductible. Each Insurance Company can have multiple Deductibles associated with it.

Based on these relationships, we can design an ERD that represents the entities and their relationships, facilitating the understanding of the system's structure and enabling effective database design.
