As part of the compulsory introduction of the PMSI (Programme de Médicalisation du Système d'Information) in health establishments, we would like to inform you that administrative and medical data concerning all hospitalised patients is now subject to computerised processing.
This data is sent to the doctor responsible for medical information in the establishment and is protected by medical secrecy.
The computerised processing, which is subject to a declaration to the CNIL (Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés), is carried out under the conditions laid down by law no. 78-17 of 6 January 1978 relating to information technology, files and civil liberties. You may exercise your right to access or rectify this data through the doctor you designate. Implementation decree no. 946666 of 27 July 1994 (art. 710-5 of the public health code and decree of 22 July 1996) relating to the collection and processing of medical activity data and the transmission to regional hospital agencies, health insurance organisations and the state of information resulting from this processing.
Article R.1112-91 : "All users of a health care establishment must be given the opportunity to express their grievances orally to the managers of the establishment's departments. If this is not possible, or if the explanations received do not satisfy the user, he/she shall be informed that he/she has the right either to address a complaint or claim in writing to the legal representative of the establishment, or to have his/her complaint or claim recorded in writing, for the same purpose. In the latter case, a copy of the document shall be issued to the patient without delay.
Article R. 1112-92: "All written complaints and claims addressed to the institution are forwarded to its legal representative. The latter either responds to them as soon as possible, informing the complainant of the possibility of referring the matter to a mediator, or informs the person concerned that he/she will be referring the matter to a mediator. "The doctor mediator is competent to deal with complaints or claims that exclusively concern the organisation of care and the medical operation of the service, while the non-physician mediator is competent to deal with complaints or claims that do not concern these issues. If a complaint or claim concerns both mediators, it shall be referred to them simultaneously".
Article R. 1112-93: "When a complaint or claim is referred to the mediator by the institution's legal representative or by the person lodging the complaint or claim, the mediator shall meet with the latter. Unless the complainant refuses or is unable to attend, the meeting shall take place within eight days of the referral. If the complaint or claim relates to an inpatient, the meeting must take place as far as possible before the patient is discharged from hospital. The mediator may meet the patient's next of kin if he/she considers it useful or at their request.
Article R. 1112-94 : "Within eight days of the meeting with the person lodging the complaint or claim, the mediator shall send a report of the meeting to the Chairman of the Commission, who shall immediately forward it, together with the complaint or claim, to the members of the Commission and to the complainant. On the basis of this report, and after having met the person who lodged the complaint or claim, if it deems this appropriate, the Commission will make recommendations with a view to resolving the dispute or informing the person concerned of the conciliation or appeal procedures available to them. It may also issue a reasoned opinion in favour of closing the case.
Within eight days of the meeting, the establishment's legal representative will reply to the person lodging the complaint or claim and attach the committee's opinion to the letter. This letter is forwarded to the members of the committee.
In application of the law of 4 March 2002 on patients' rights, you have the option of designating a trusted support person who will be able to receive information about your state of health if necessary. This appointment must be made in writing each time you are admitted to hospital, and you are free to change it, in writing, during your stay.
If you so wish, your support person can accompany you in all the steps you take and attend medical appointments to help you make decisions. In the event that your state of health does not allow you to give your opinion or make your decisions known: the doctor, or possibly the team taking care of you, will give priority to consulting the trusted support person that you have designated. The opinion thus obtained from the trusted support person will guide the doctor in making his or her decisions.
