[Roles of coordination support systems].

ROLE OF COORDINATION SUPPORT SYSTEMS. The concepts of healthcare pathway and territory are at the heart of local healthcare provision. Some patients require specific support, given their risk factors and social vulnerability. Legislation relating to complex healthcare pathways has evolved, with local services supporting healthcare professionals. Healthcare pathways include the medical, psychological, social and environmental needs of each patient. New coordination support facilities is to help practitioners in their care in order to refocus them on their core specialty, in a patient-centered approach. The pooling of different skills of primary care medicine and medico-social support services is possible to provide personalized responses for the most vulnerable people, whose action strategies are not exclusively medical.
