The recent development of hospital information systems in France presently makes it possible to study similarity between establishments based on an official data source, the AGHN. The AGHN is based on three types of information: medical, structural (personnel and material) and economic. Using the PCA (principal component analysis) tool, we can examine the situation of one regional andor university hospital with regards to others of the same kind.
