In a long interview published in the November issue of Avenir et Santé, the General Director of healthcare provision, Marie Daudé, takes stock of the reform of the core profession and the educational framework. In his eyes, “it is first and foremost a signal sent to liberal nurses”. Explanations
In a context where “the particularly dynamic demographics of the profession seem to us to be an important response to the needs of local and home care (…), estimates Marie Daudé, Director General of Care Supply (DGOS) of the Ministry of Health. The DGOS fully intends to contribute to shaping this new role dedicated to nurses in this context.” And to add: “The current reform of the profession will, among other things, put in place a nursing consultation: this will be an additional step to fight against the unequal distribution of care provision in the territory, to reduce the use of emergencies and also to strengthen the attractiveness of the profession ».
At the forefront of prevention
With “the introduction of nursing consultation in specific areas of care, inspired by prevention appointments or the expertise of nurses on wounds”will follow “the definition of this operating modality of nursing practice and a list of products and examinations authorized within the framework of nursing prescription”. There is also strong question “to accentuate the role of nurses in prevention” by involving private nurses in the distribution of colorectal cancer screening kits.
Prescription capacities to be expanded
Better, “as part of this reform, we are indeed questioning prescribing capacities which, without at all matching those of IPAs, can be stabilized and possibly expanded », suggests Marie Daudé, who would like the matter to be completed by the beginning of 2025 at the latest.
As for the Care Teams coordinated around the patient (Escap), the subject of an experiment launched with Health Insurance for a period of three years, “this model is agile and may seem interesting to the extent that we support the coordination of pathways around the patient”assures Marie Daudé, whose enthusiasm on the subject is real but measured: “If the Escap will not allow the transformation of the exercise modalities that we expect from coordinated exercise, we believe that they can be a first building block for the coordination of health professionals in the territory. »
