Hospital ER diagram example

What is the hospital ER diagram example template?

A hospital ER (entity relationship) diagram is a flowchart illustrating how “entities” relate to each other within a system. It’s important to note that when we say "ER" in this template, we’re discussing an entity relationship—not an emergency room.

This template is an example of illustrating the data flow involved in a patient’s visit so you can study it and make your own. This is especially important given the sensitivity of data in the healthcare field.
