There is provided a method of creating a cohort clinical pathway graph based on knowledge-driven manual user input and automated data-driven mining comprising: receiving via a graphical user interface (GUI), manual selections including: knowledge-driven variable(s) denoting clinically significant values representing elements of a clinical decision making process, and an anchoring location of each knowledge-driven node denoting a respective knowledge-drive variable within a directed acyclic graph (DAG), computing individual clinical pathways for each of the sampled population of patients by automatically computing data-driven nodes denoting the data-driven discovery of event types relative to the manual selections, and aggregating the individual clinical pathways to compute a cohort clinical pathway DAG, wherein the cohort clinical pathway DAG includes nodes comprising the knowledge-driven nodes, the data-driven nodes, and links connecting the nodes, each link denoting an automatically discovered sequence between two respective nodes, and presenting the cohort clinical pathway DAG within the GUI.
