Question 5729 — health professions

Summary

Health centers are health structures open to all, providing care without first resort accommodation and, where applicable, second resort. Their health and social role is specific in the provision of local care and meets the expectations of patients, in terms of diversity of care provision, geographical location, and financial accessibility by applying third-party payment and enforceable rates. They also constitute a form of team exercise, considered attractive for health professionals who are looking for an activity whose organization is favorable to the coordination of care. The order of January 12, 2018 relating to the creation and operation of health centers simplified and clarified the creation and operation of health centers to strengthen access to primary care, promoted by the plan territorial strengthening of access to care, while guaranteeing the protection of patients. The order: - reaffirms the obligation of the third-party payment practice and enforceable tariffs; - provides information to the patient on the conditions of financial support from the care provider to whom they may be referred; - guarantees the non-profit nature of the management of the centers, whatever the status - private or public - managers; - introduces an obligation to commit to compliance prior to opening the center, accompanied by the possibility of closing the center in the event of non-compliance with this commitment. The new regime which is thus implemented is likely to consolidate the role of health centers for equal access to care while ensuring the quality of care.
