Interoperability with My Health Space now dictates the choice of business software, and Ségur funding imposes precise technical standards, while paramedical professions have just entered the regulatory scope of digital health. In this context, identifying truly operational resources has become a compliance challenge as much as a productivity issue for healthcare teams.
DMP Interoperability and Ségur Standards: the Technical Filter that Prevails over Usability
The observation is clear: alignment with HL7 FHIR and openEHR standards has shifted from being optional to a prerequisite for any care software deployed in healthcare facilities. The Digital Health Agency (ANS) conditions public funding on this compliance, redistributing the cards among publishers.
For purchasing teams, whether in hospitals or private practice, the criterion of interoperability with the Shared Medical Record within My Health Space now takes precedence over cost and usability in selection grids. A smooth software that is not connected to core services (MSSanté, Pro Santé Connect) simply will not be fundable.
We recommend checking three points before any contractual commitment with a publisher:
- The actual presence of the software in the list of Ségur referenced solutions, updated by the ANS, and not just a simple declaration of compliance.
- The ability for native connection to Pro Santé Connect for professional authentication, avoiding redundant identification layers.
- The operational support of the FHIR format for exchanging structured documents with the DMP, tested in real conditions and not just in a testing environment.
Structures that centralize this information facilitate monitoring work. Several professionals regularly consult the UniverSanté website for professionals to access consolidated resources on these regulatory and digital topics.
Paramedical Professions and Midwives: Finally a Specific Digital Framework
Until recently, digital health tools primarily targeted doctors and pharmacists. A regulatory framework published in the Official Journal in July 2026 extends the scope to paramedics and midwives. Publishers can now connect their business software to core services for these professions.
This extension changes the game on the ground. Freelance nurses, physiotherapists, and speech therapists can access e-CPS and Pro Santé Connect with a clear legal framework. Before this publication, connections sometimes existed in practice, but without a solid regulatory basis, which hindered large-scale deployments.
For health managers and pole coordinators, the challenge is to anticipate the updating of workstations and authorizations. Every paramedical professional must have a verified digital identity to fully utilize these new accesses. The physical CPS card remains the standard, but e-CPS on smartphones simplifies authentication on the go.
Tools for Preventing Occupational Risks in Healthcare Facilities
INRS resources remain the reference for preventing workplace risks in the healthcare sector. Job-specific sheets, awareness videos, risk assessment tools: the catalog covers musculoskeletal disorders, exposure to biological agents, and psychological load.
The Ministry of Labor published in 2026 a toolkit dedicated to mental health at work. It is aimed at employers in the healthcare and social sectors, with self-assessment grids and rapid intervention protocols. The approach targets primary prevention, not just crisis management.
We observe that many establishments underutilize these resources. The single document for assessing occupational risks (DUERP) is often written once and then forgotten. However, INRS tools offer templates for annual updates, with monitoring indicators tailored to care services.
Transition of Digital Skills: OPCO Santé Pathway and HAS Evaluation
OPCO Santé has launched a specific pathway to support teams towards digital autonomy. This initiative targets employees of healthcare, social, and medico-social establishments who need to enhance their skills on connected tools without interrupting their clinical activity.
HAS has published recommendations for evaluating digital health solutions, covering data security, clinical use, and organizational impact. These recommendations serve as a reading grid for purchasing committees, but also for caregivers participating in testing phases.
Three axes structure this skill enhancement:
- Mastery of document flows in My Health Space, particularly feeding the DMP from the business software and consulting documents shared by other professionals.
- Secure use of the MSSanté messaging system for health data exchanges between peers, replacing non-compliant channels.
- The ability to evaluate a digital tool according to HAS criteria before integrating it into daily practice, rather than undergoing a deployment decided without consultation.
The sector is undergoing a phase where regulatory obligations advance faster than field practices. Structures that invest in the continuous training of their teams on these technical subjects will gain operational fluidity. Those that wait risk accumulating technical debt and non-compliance, two problems whose recovery costs far exceed those of anticipation.
