Entities and Entity-Relationship Diagrams

An entity represents an activity, concept, event, object, person, place or thing of interest to an organization and about which the data represents.

Note that Entity names are singular, and the relationship is represented by the association between the two entities. In the case of the ward and patient, note that there is a *one-to-many* relationship between the two.
