A unified regional contact
There are 26 Regional Health Agencies (ARS), the cutting may not be superimposed on that of the regions. Indeed, the distribution is developed based on specific characteristics and needs of each territory.
Each ARS multi-agency previously responsible form of dispersed health policy in the regions and departments:
– DRASS (Regional Directorate of Health and Social Affairs)
– DDASS (Departmental Directorate of Health and Social Affairs)
– The Regional Agency for Hospitalisation,
– The Regional Union of Health Insurance, which includes the main plans: general system, agricultural system and RSI.
Prevention missions, organization and management
The Regional Health Agency operates both in missions to regional dimension that the most local level. These missions are twofold:
– Management of public health in the region. This control is based on safety and health monitoring (environmental monitoring, epidemics …), in coordination with the prefect.
– The organization of health care provision. The ARS is involved both with local doctors and health facilities (hospitals, clinics) or medical social (retirement homes, homes for the disabled).
Improving healthcare services
The ARS has four main objectives:
– Reduce territorial inequalities in health,
– Better access to care,
– Improve coordination between health professionals and health institutions and medical social,
– Ensure greater efficiency in health spending.
The ARS are preferred partners of health professionals and local authorities, who endeavor to promote and coordinate actions.
Controlling health expenditures in all their aspects
The mission of ARS is ultimately optimize the allocation and use of health resources. That is to make the most of every dollar of budget committed to a regional health policy.
ARS also did they have programs priority risk management (GDR). For the period 2010-2011, we find among them including transporting patients, chronic renal failure, the hospital prescriptions drugs performed in the city, medical imaging or efficiency of nursing homes (residential homes for the Elderly dependent). The diversity of these measures reflects the breadth and depth of intervention of ARS.
