Data Model

Data Model
A data model provides a user’s view of how the data should be structured and displayed. It also provides an understanding of how information is acquired and required to support business practices within an organization.

In this assignment, you will use Visio to develop a data model for a specific scenario.

Instructions

Using the data points provided, develop a data model for the Vila Health clinic; apply your knowledge of data modeling concepts. Your data model should structure the data to support the business practices of a health care organization. The data points should be grouped together under a category heading.
