Well how does a hopsital manage this? On Wed, Dec 15, 2010 at 8:30 AM, Gavin Beau Baumanis <b...@palcare.com.au>wrote:

So I expect you would have: Hospital.admit(patient) > * Patient Discharges > Ditto: Hopsital.dischard(patient) I wouldn't be shocked if a Hospital had a series of Wards, which then had the patients, but you probably know this domain better than I do.

[image: [Patient]+*->0..1[Hospital], [Hospital]++1->1[Location]] http://yuml.me/diagram/scruffy;/class/[Patient]+*->0..1[Hospital], [Hospital]++1->1[Location] Or maybe not, maybe there is a global registry of Patients, i.e. a global medical record, which ties it all together. (Maybe patients really don't often know what Hospital they are in, and you need to ask the Medial History, or maybe both should really know) [image: [HistoryRegistery]++1->*[Record], [Record]+1->1[Patient], [Record]+1-current>0..1[Hospital]] http://yuml.me/diagram/scruffy;/class/[HistoryRegistery]++1->*[Record], [Record]+1->1[Patient], [Record]+1-current>0..1[Hospital] Again, just modelling the real world objects. You just need to go a few levels below just a 'Hospital' and get a little deeper. There are a variety of ways you could model this, just depends on your domain really.
