In this work we analyze the market for health care through a computational approach that relies on Kohonen's Self-Organizing Maps, and we observe the competition dynamics of health care providers versus those of patients. As a result, we offer a new tool addressing the issue of hospital behaviour and demand mechanism modelling, which conjugates a robust theoretical implementation together with an instrument of deep graphical impact.
