Abstract
A file of episodes stores data about the patients that are admitted to a hospital. This structure can be analyzed to obtain clinical, supervision and normative knowledge about the hospital functioning. HISYS1 is a system that integrates graphical and artificial intelligence techniques to automatically generate hospital decision support systems that organize and use the above knowledge to predict the evolution of the new patients. The system has been proved with the patients of the Hospital Joan XXIII in Tarragona (Spain) for six diagnoses.
