 AB    The ORS were established at the beginning of 1980's to improve and to
       promote health informations to help decision makers. The ORS are
       non-profit making institutions supported by Health Ministry and local
       authorities. They also conclude contracts with private or public
       partners. A national federation exist since 1988. The ORS use a lot of
       scientific technics but have the constant preoccupation to adapt their
       communication for decision makers and non specialised public. From 1989
       to 1994, more than 900 works have been published on a large variety of
       topics. In 1994, all of the ORS produced a regional dashboard on health
       according to a pattern elaborated by their national federation. In each
       region, these documents present most of the available indicators on
       health and social reality. So, the ORS associate local and national
       points of view.
