Hospital : Veran promises of salary increases and a reform of the system

a Few days before the beginning of Ségur of health", the government is back on its ambitions for the hospital. When reporting to the council of ministers, on Wednesday, the minister of Health, Olivier Véran, explained that "nothing will be as before" to the French health system. "The whole country has seen what she needed for the caregiver [...] The French have taken the habit to applaud, because they love their caregivers", he greeted. However, "the commitment of the caregivers called, more than ever, our commitment to recognize them for what they are" and to transform their business accordingly.

"in recent years, a lack of well-being has grown up in the hospital," admitted the representative of the government, adding that "speeches, laws and logical accounting' could have "hurt, discourage' professionals. "When they speak of a decline of the priorities, the care, the kindness, and the well-being of the sick, this must challenge us". The progress made so far, there have not been enough : "with My Health 2022, we had good diagnostics, good guidance," but this plan was "neither fast enough, nor strong enough".

Now, the "measures of scale, multiple, general, and to a certain extent radical" are therefore necessary. The "lessons learned" must also be learned from the epidemic and the way it has been fought at the local level by the providers. "Practices embryonic have taken a proportion mass", such as telemedicine, increased from 20.000 acts in 2019 to "more than a million procedures per week" since the crisis, has been cited as an example Olivier Véran. The epidemic has also broken in "silos that we thought was as solid as the pyramids of Egypt", pushing the different players as caregivers, managers or general practitioners to co-operate.

To wage increases at the hospital, and Ephad

In these conditions, the government ensures that the future transformation of the hospital will be radical. "It is up to us to change. The time has come to share all the ambitions unpublished" in order to reset the health system. To define the changes to come, "our method will be listening [...] and our compass will be the confidence to write, together, the day after," said the minister. And to add, these improvements will happen very quickly : "I know about restless legs syndrome [...] we go fast, we go strong." On Monday, the "Ségur health" should be the occasion of a "dialogue [...] to share what it is necessary to review, improve, conserve, simplify, and better value", both in the hospital in the medical city.

These exchanges must lead to a better valuation of the careers and professions of the health. "This will require a rise in wages in the hospital and in long-term care facilities", he said, as well as by a "questioning of some of the shackles [...], a better valuation of the work in a team and, therefore, skills acquired and tasks performed". The transformation must also make the health system more efficient : "our system is not yet effective enough, in its steering and in its organisation [...] We spend a lot, with results of improvement," said Olivier Véran. In organizational terms, the changes must make the system "simpler and more flexible", because the "standard for the standard [...] and the administrative does not have a meaning".

The "Ségur of health" must also lead to a "new investment plan for the health facilities and long-term care facilities", in which the envelope is not yet defined, as well as "new funding models". The future organisation of health will also need to be "more collective between the hospital, the medical city and the medical-social sector [...] and closer to the territories".
