- What opportunities for the provision of care in the future? (Part 1)
Cooperation between health professionals
On the one hand, telehealth, and production of remote care. On the other hand, cooperation between health professionals, through which medical and paramedical staff can develop new forms of group exercise and operate them transfers of activities to optimize the production of care.
In France, these approaches are still marginal, particularly in the ambulatory sector, as they need to change some of the principles of private practice. In other countries, cooperation is highly developed in the field of primary care, especially engaging GPs and nurses on access to routine care and the quality of care for chronic conditions.
This change requires a proactive policy to support multidisciplinary structures and legal recognition of new skills. The development of cooperation in France, is the key to strengthening the ambulatory sector, would, under certain conditions, to better align supply the needs of patients and improve the efficiency of the health system by reducing the weight of expenditure hospital.
