PMSI medical activity maps are now available for all French regions, including overseas departments, from the Parhtage regional hospital services agencies' portal. They allow users to view recruitment areas for all public and private health establishments.

The reasons why patients are sent to a particular hospital are based on complex factors that always go beyond administrative boundaries – i.e. departments or regions. Easy navigation from one region to another was therefore made possible, as well as analysing the situation near administrative borders.

These maps offer an overview of France by department, which can be broken down by activity and/or establishment. A more detailed analysis is made possible by zooming in on each municipality within a region. At this level, users can examine the recruitment area of the selected establishment or the destination of a given area's inhabitants.
