Draw level 1 DFD of the given scenario. Mention your brain storming as well before the drawing. Tom is starting a dental practice in a small town. He will have a dental assistant, a dental hygienist, and a receptionist. He wants a system to manage the appointments.

When a patient calls for an appointment, the receptionist will check the calendar and will try to schedule the patient as early as possible to fill in vacancies. If the patient is happy with the proposed appointment, the receptionist will enter the appointment with the patient name and purpose of appointment. The system will verify the patient name and supply necessary details from the patient records, including the patient's ID number. After each exam or cleaning, the hygienist or assistant will mark the appointment as completed, add comments, and then schedule the patient for the next visit if appropriate.

The system will answer queries name and by date. Supporting details from the patient's records are displayed along with the appointment information. The receptionist can cancel appointments. The receptionist can print out a notification list for making reminder calls 2 days before appointments. The system includes the patient's phone numbers from the patient records. The receptionist can also print out daily and weekly work schedules with all the patients.
