For this portion of the database project, students will be comparing deficiencies among multiple healthcare facilities, and analyzing the data via a database program. Data will be presented in MS Access for manipulation into a Deficiency Report which will then require final screenshot submission via a Word Document. Students will then create a Data Dictionary for all columns as identified in the Deficiency Report. The data dictionary must be submitted via an Excel Spreadsheet.
Two (2) Documents will need to be submitted.
- Deficiency Report: Word Document with Screenshot
- Data Dictionary: Excel Document
You will be utilizing this database: HIT226DB.accdb
Deficiency Report: Access Database with 2 tables (40 points)
Identify 2 healthcare facilities to compare with 6 or more deficiencies
