HIN (Health Issue Network) is introduced as a peculiar approach to enhance Case-Based Learning (CBL) methodology for health sciences education, as well as innovative tool to query problem-oriented EHRs. In this paper HIN's Petri Nets-based formalism is described, and a first example of its twofold (lower and upper) representation level is proposed.

Scarce literature exists as to the use of Petri Nets (PN) to model the
dynamic evolution of health issues in a deterministic way. Starting from the HIN
(Health Issue Network) approach, the paper aims at describing the suitability of
PN in supporting the Case–Based Learning method for improving an educational
simulation environment in which students can manage realistic clinical data
related to the evolution of a patient's health state over time.
