PROJECT STEPS
- Rural Health Associates is a healthcare company that manages rural health
clinics in underserved areas of the country. You work in the Patient Services
department as an information specialist. In this project you will improve an
existing database by creating and modifying fields and tables, queries, forms,
and reports.
In the Navigation Pane, rename the Patients form using PatientEntry as the
new form name. - Use the Simple Query Wizard to create a new query. Choose the PatientID,
FirstName, and LastName fields from the Patients table. Use PatientListing as
the name of the new query, open the query to view information, a portion of
which is shown in Figure 1, and then close it.

- Create a new form based on the Family table using the Form tool. Rename the
form, using FamilyInfo as the name, confirm that the form matches Figure 2,
and then close it.
Figure 2: FamilyInfo Form
- Use the Report Wizard to create a new report. Choose the FamilyID,
LastName, City, and State fields from the Family table. Do not add any grouping
levels. Sort the records in ascending order by LastName. Use a Tabular layout
and a Portrait orientation. Title the report FamilyListing, preview the report, a
portion of which is shown in Figure 3, and then close it.

- Create a table in Design View. Add a field named ServiceCode with an
AutoNumber data type and a field named Description with a Short Text data
type. Define ServiceCode as the primary key. Save the table with the name
HealthServices, and close the table. - Open the ProfessionalStaff table in Datasheet View and add a new record with a
StaffID value of 112, FirstName value of Kendra, LastName value of Lister,
Position value of Doctor, and ClinicID value of 3. - With the ProfessionalStaff table still open in Datasheet View, delete the record
for StaffID 100 (Adam Mendoza), modify the FirstName value for the record with
StaffID 110 (Rebecca Roderick), using Becky as the new value, and close the
ProfessionalStaff table. - Open the Patients table in Design View. Add a field named DateOfBirth with a
Date/Time data type, add a field named Gender with a Short Text data type,
and a field named FamilyID with a Short Text data type. Save and close the
Patients table.
