Clinical guidelines and protocols are used to aid decision making in health care. This paper presents a modelbased approach to the development of decision support systems for clinical guidelines. The guidelines are modelled using the UML Statechart language and the final system is automatically generated using an automated model transformation. Our approach is illustrated with a Spanish clinical guideline developed on the basis of a guideline published by the well-known National Guideline Clearing House (NGC).
