| Abstract;As is known about the present status of hospital management in Japan, 90% of municipal hospitals and 40% of private hospitals operate in the red-ink balance. In this paper, a knowledge-based system, 'XpertRule Analyzer', has been employed to analyze the financial data of Japanese hospitals during 1993-1998 and to discuss which items make risk factors in the balance. Hospitals are divided into three groups according to sickbeds number: small-scale group (-199 sickbeds), medium-scale group (200-399), and large-scale group (400-). The analysis has been carried out both for the case when exclusively the medical items are considered and for the case all the items are included. Some noticeable results are given. 1) In case of small-scale group, 'outpatient charge' is an equally important factor with 'personnel expenses' for the balance. 'Grants in aid subsidy' is also an indicator to the balance. 2) For medium-scale group, 'interest payment' is an affecting factor next to 'personnel expenses'. 3) For large-scale group, 'personnel expenses' remain leading factors and is followed by 'material costs'.
