The GAMES European Community project deals with the general architecture of medical expert systems. Within the framework of this project, a methodology has been proposed, based on an epistemological model of reasoning of the hypothetico-deductive type. We applied this methodological approach to the design and the building of a system for diagnosing and predicting hospital-acquired infections, in the environment of DIOGENE, the Hospital Information System (HIS) of Geneva University.
