In this article, we present a project to achieve the systemic restructuring of the Medical Educational Unit, dependent on the National University of Chaco Austral, Argentina. This Medical Unit has a variety of data about its patients, which is currently not automated in a patient’s Medical History. Because of that, it is difficult to obtain information with high added value for decision-making based on these records, as well as the development of tools for training medical students at the University. Using systemic techniques and tools, we planned changes to transform the data into structured knowledge. We are considering innovations through the incorporation of computer tools, such as databases and others based on Artificial Intelligence (AI), with the aim of representation and manipulation of knowledge to create models powerful enough to study real-life situations. Likewise, for the restructuring to be systemic, mechanisms are devised so that current employees accept the proposed changes without feeling underestimated.
