Resources for healthcare professionals are multiplying, but their dispersion across institutional platforms, digital tools, and practice guidelines complicates their daily use. Identifying reliable channels and integrating them with clinical practice remains a major operational challenge.
Interoperability of connected medical devices and My Health Space
The most significant development in recent months concerns the direct connection of chronic disease monitoring applications to My Health Space. The case of diabetes illustrates this shift well: the blood glucose data collected by sensors can automatically feed into the patient’s record, without manual re-entry by the practitioner.
This movement towards interoperability changes the consultation itself. The professional accesses a continuous history even before the patient steps through the office door. We observe that this continuity of data reduces the time spent on the medical history and refocuses the exchange on therapeutic adjustments.
The technical counterpart is real: each business software must be Ségur certified to properly feed into the health space. Community pharmacists, biologists, and private practitioners do not use the same interfaces, and compatibility between vendors remains uneven. Verifying that your software is up to date on this point conditions access to all information available on Santéducation as well as to the national guidelines shared via the DMP.
Targeted prevention notifications: what this changes in consultations
Since the summer of 2025, My Health Space has been sending targeted prevention notifications to insured individuals based on their profile (age, sex, medical history). Organized screenings, vaccination reminders, periodic assessments: the patient arrives at the consultation with an alert that they do not always understand.
This mechanism creates a form of digital prescription ahead of the physician. In practice, we recommend systematically integrating a verification of the notifications received during the consultation. Ignoring this channel means allowing the patient to interpret a public health message tailored to their profile on their own.
The volume of documents stored in My Health Space exceeds 420 million documents in 2025, with an increase of about 40% in one year according to Health Insurance. This massification requires rigorous sorting: without coherent structuring of deposits on the professional side, the record becomes an unmanageable pile.
HAS guidelines and clinical practice guides: access and updates
The High Authority of Health remains the pivot of good practice recommendations. Its scope now covers the health, social, and medico-social sectors, significantly expanding the accessible documentary corpus.
The issue is no longer the availability of guides, but their updating. A guideline published three years ago may have been partially revised without the practitioner being informed other than through active monitoring. Three criteria help structure this monitoring:
- Consult the HAS news feeds by specialty rather than through ad-hoc searches, to capture incremental updates that are not the subject of press releases.
- Cross-reference HAS recommendations with DGS-Urgent alerts disseminated by the Ministry of Health, which signal regulatory changes with immediate effects on practice.
- Check the last revision date of each document before using it as a clinical decision support, particularly on vaccination topics or recently modified screening protocols.
The updated pneumococcal vaccination strategy by HAS or its positions on mandatory flu vaccination are concrete examples of recommendations to be quickly integrated into office protocols.
City-hospital coordination and access to unscheduled care
The territorial professional health communities (CPTS) and the access to care service (SAS) have become fully operational resources. Their role goes beyond simple emergency regulation: they structure the offer of unscheduled care in a territory and redistribute the load among private practitioners.
For a private practitioner, participating in the SAS means accessing a stream of patients directed by regulation, but also having a direct communication channel with hospital emergencies. This coordination reduces avoidable hospitalizations and speeds up the return to the city after acute care.
The CPTS also provide shared tools: interprofessional cooperation protocols, updated territorial directories, reserved consultation slots. These resources remain underutilized by practitioners who do not actively participate in the governance bodies of their CPTS.
Ségur digital health: concrete impact on business software
The Ségur program conditions the funding of software updates on achieving interoperability milestones. For social and medico-social establishments and services (ESSMS), the deployment of the Ségur-compliant electronic user record (DUI) transforms the traceability of pathways.
In city medicine, the Ségur compliance of practice management software determines the ability to:
- Automatically feed into My Health Space during each consultation, without manual document export.
- Receive medical summary reports and hospital liaison letters in a structured and usable format.
- Transmit vaccination data directly into the patient’s electronic vaccination record.
A non-Ségur certified software progressively isolates the practitioner from the shared information circuit. We recommend checking the certification status with the Health Digital Agency before any license renewal.
The multiplication of digital, regulatory, and territorial resources simplifies practice only if one masters their integration. A professional who combines HAS monitoring, structured use of My Health Space, and active participation in their CPTS has a solid foundation to absorb regulatory changes without being overwhelmed by their pace.
