Abstract		With Barber-Johnson-Yates scattergrams (BJYS), the performances of Slovenian and Croatian acute hospital system were explored by taking tumover interval as a predictor variable, length of stay as a dependent variable, and by looking at the variables of bed throughput and percentage of bed emptiness on installed network. The growing intluences on the Slovenian hospital system of a cost-containment policy and of the past war on the Croatian hospital system are the best illustrations of the informatics potential inherent in BJYS presentations for the exploratory data analysis (EDA) used to identify systematic relations between variables in a setting of not completea priori expectations of these relations.
