چکیده
The Key Findings Reporter (KEFIR) is a system for discovering and explaining \key ndings" in large, relational databases. This paper describes an application of KEFIR to the analysis of health-care information. The system performs an automatic analysis of data along multiple dimensions to determine the most interesting deviations of speciic quantitative measures relative to norms and previous values. It explains key ndings through their relationship to other ndings in the data, and, where possible, generates simple recommendations for correcting detected problems. A nal written report, complete with business graphics, is produced for viewing remotely over the internet with Mosaic, or for printing to hardcopy.
