The medical care of patients has changed a lot in France. The DGOS publishes its 2015 report on the healthcare offer in the region.
The 2015 edition of key figures for the healthcare offer provides a broad but also very precise overview of the healthcare offer in France. But beyond general information on our health system, the general management of healthcare (DGOS) sheds particular light on the changes that have emerged with the first stages of the implementation of the government’s national health strategy.
Among the objectives declared by Marisol Touraine, Minister of Health, we find the ambition of better access to care for all French people, improvement of the quality of care, research and innovation.
In terms of results, this 2015 report shows that the structures of coordinated exercise are developing at a good pace in the territory. In particular, multi-professional health centers which are made up mainly of medical professionals, medical auxiliaries or pharmacists, working in private practice. They went from 174 in 2012 to 600 in 2014.
In addition, the government also wants an improvement in the distribution of professionals in the territory. In this sense, it has developed the territory health pact which includes a wide range of measures to fight against medical desertification and inequalities between territories.
This Tuesday, the DGOS therefore takes stock of the public service engagement contracts (CESP) which promote the installation of future professionals by the payment of a grant during their studies. Their number has grown exponentially in a few years. They went from 353 in 2012 to 881 in 2014. The target is 1,500 in 2017.
Finally, progress in the provision of care also requires support for innovative forms of care. Outpatient surgery, which covers hospitalizations of less than 12 hours without overnight accommodation, with quality and safety of care equivalent to those of conventional hospitalizations, is thus booming. Among surgical stays, nearly 45% were carried out on an outpatient basis in 2014, compared to 32% in 2007.
Still in this dynamic, medical practices allowing the remote improvement of the service provided to patients and the exchange of information between health professionals by means of new technologies are multiplying. 331 telemedicine projects were thus launched in 2012. And four chronic diseases are mainly concerned. 32% are for kidney failure, 26% for heart failure, 20% for chronic wounds and 16% for diabetes.
