The government wants to “systematize” the use of the very young digital health record, called “My health space”, and other digital health applications, Health Minister François Braun said on Wednesday, presenting the new roadmap for digital health until 2027.
Headlining the government’s ambitions, the digital health book “Mon Espace Santé” is already operational, with 65 million books opened automatically during 2022. An activation that, however, the insured may oppose.
“My health space” rejected by city doctors
But after little more than a year of operation, it is filled mainly with hospitals and medical analysis laboratories, which automatically add hospitalization reports and analysis results.
The city’s doctors are still too few to deposit their prescriptions and their letters of liaison with their colleagues. And on the patient’s side, only 8.4 million French people have taken the step to consult and share it with their caregiver.
To make it easier to win over the public and caregivers, the roadmap offers new features, such as secure messaging, for example, to send a prescription to a pharmacist.
secure data
By 2026, data from My Health Space should also be shareable with healthcare professionals in another European country, to facilitate healthcare abroad.
But the digital health roadmap, which has 65 goals in all, covers other areas as well. Therefore, it plans to generalize Pro Santé Connect, which should allow healthcare professionals to use a single username and password to connect to its various software.
It also establishes new obligations for the computer servers of health applications, to strengthen data security, particularly against foreign magistrates and police officers.
IT players certified by “HDS” (health data hosts) will have to “guarantee systematic accommodation in the European Economic Area, with legal and technical measures to reduce the risk of extraterritorial data transfer”, the roadmap specifies. . The new “HDS” certification rules that impose this obligation should be published “in September 2023”, according to the firm of François Braun.
