Health Practice Guideliens are supposed to unify practices and propose recommendations to physicians. This paper describes GemFrame, a system capable of semi-automatically filling an XML template from free texts in the clinical domain. The XML template includes semantic information not explicitly encoded in the text (pairs of conditions and ac-tions/recommendations). Therefore, there is a need to compute the exact scope of condi-tions over text sequences expressing the re-quired actions. We present a system developped for this task. We show that it yields good performance when applied to the analysis of French practice guidelines. We conclude with a precise evaluation of the tool.
