Case Study:

You are required to design a health system with information about doctors and patients.

Assume that there are:

50 Doctors

100 Nursing staff

Around 1000 patients.

You need to decide how would you like to represent the doctors, nursing staff and patients. For each of these decide what variables should be there. Also, each of these will have one or more keys and a range of values. Specify all of these.

Then specify the range of operations which will be needed for the health system. Keep in mind that it is not a complete hospital management system. Mainly, the interest is in managing and searching the

records of doctors, nursing staff and patients.

For each of these operations, discuss the most suitable sorting or searching method and why your

chosen algorithm for each operation is the most appropriate. Your justification should talk about the different properties of algorithms and explain as to why your chosen algorithm is best suited to the problem in question.

After a number of years, the number of staff (doctors and nursing) and patients have almost doubled.

What changes, if any, would you make to your system so that it is still can be used effectively and efficiently?
