Create an ERD following the following specifications(Please Use ERDPlus)

Problem (10 points): A medical office wishes to optimize its scheduling procedure and hires you to design a DB following these specifications.

  • Every patient has a unique patient ID, name (first, last), address (street, city, zip, state), an email, a list (possibly empty) of phone numbers.
  • Every patient has a list of next of kin (name, relation, contact phone) with at least one person in this list.
  • Every physician has a unique employee ID, unique medical license number, name (first, last), work email, work phone number.
  • When a patient contacts this medical office for the first time, the patient is assigned a physician who will be the leading physician for this patient.
  • Every office physician can be the leading physician for many patients, however, there are physicians who are not assigned as a leading physician to any patients.
  • When a patient schedules an appointment, the appointment is typically scheduled with the first available physician.
  • For every appointment scheduled by a patient, the office stores the information regarding the physician who conducts this appointment (not necessarily the patients leading physician) and the examination room where the appointment takes place.
  • Over time a patient can schedule multiple appointments.

  • Every physician who works in the office is assigned to appointments (many appointments over time).
  • Every examination room is defined by its unique room number, and the list of equipment items available in this room.
  • Every generated appointment has an appointment ID, date, time. Also, for every appointment a physician leaves comments about the appointment.
  • Every patient has at least one credit card associated with this patient (unique card #, expiration date).
  • This is a family practice, so several patients can share a credit card.
  • If a patient has several credit cards associated with him / her, then one of the cards is marked as the primary card.
