Book III: Emergency medical aid, permanent care, medical transport, telehealth and other health services

The support systems for coordinating complex healthcare pathways have a governance structure that ensures balanced representation of players from the social, medico-social and health sectors, including in particular representatives of users, the departmental council and territorial professional health communities. This governance ensures that the principle of subsidiary intervention by the support system in relation to that of the professionals mentioned in article L. 6327-1 is respected.

Establishments authorised to provide home hospital care may participate in the operation of one or more support systems.

The local information and coordination centres mentioned in article L. 113-2 of the Code de l’action sociale et des familles (Social Action and Family Code) may join the scheme mentioned in article L. 6327-2 of this Code, by decision of the Departmental Council.

For activities subject to authorisation under article L. 6122-1 requiring special expertise, specific regional mechanisms can organise specialised support for healthcare professionals, health establishments and regional health agencies.

The conditions of application of this chapter shall be laid down by decree.
