the digital medical record is launched

Current treatments, hospitalizations or allergies. From Thursday February 3, every French person can create their health space via the website monespacesante.fr. The patient himself feeds his medical safe. With a few minutes of getting started, this is a very useful change for this patient interviewed in Toulouse: “BeforeI carried around with the whole folder of documents, unfortunately sometimes some are missing. There, there is everything.” For the doctors at the clinic, it is also a small revolution since the system will be accessible to all health professionals.

All medical information will be stored in France and secured by a code renewed at each connection. Thus, the insured retains control. “It is he who gives access or not to professionals. And he can also choose to not make certain documents visible”, says Céline Orhondrelationship manager patient from the Pasteur clinic. In pilot departments such as Haute-Garonne, less than 1% of policyholders guided by telephone refused membership. By default, all French people will be automatically registered on monespacesanté.fr, unless they decide to oppose it.
