NR542 Managing Data and Information

Week 1 Discussion

Clinical Nurses and Information Management

Think about an information-management problem that could be resolved with a database. You will use this problem and suggested database as the foundation to build your database over the next eight weeks. Explain the problem in detail and support the need to solve the problem with scholarly literature (consider patient. nursing practice, management, or education situations). Think about a situation for which you wish to capture data over a long period of time and for which you want to study various relationships. Provide three questions that you would like to see answered via database support.

Week 2 Discussion

Project Entities and Relationships

As you further consider the information problems and design of the database from your week 1 discussion

Explain why you have chosen these entities.

Using the Chen format as shown and discussed in the Oppel text, draw an entity-relationship (E-R) diagram for two of the entities, name the identifier for the selected entitiies, and attach the drawing to your discussion post. Remember, an entity-relationship requires at least one other entity. Use a software program or Microsoft Word symbols to depict your diagram aspects
