Abstract

Presents four approaches (relational, network, hierarchical, entity‐relationship) to medical database design with illustrative examples. Medical databases appear to be a fertile field for further study. In addition, the study of medical databases may contribute to finding more effective and more efficient ways to disseminate the latest scientific, engineering, and technical information in biomedical engineering.
