EU2022FR Program and Events

Every six months a different member state holds the presidency of the Council of the European Union. Since January 1st until June 30th 2022, France runned its program during the first semester of 2022.

The official Presidency event program included 22 events in Paris, Lyon, Strasbourg, Nice, Laval,... and online events. With 2 institutional events +20 events organized by the French and EU digital health ecosystem, the ANS hosted 3 of them in this first semester of 2022.

 

2022: The French Presidency 

A trio for long-term objectives.

Each Presidency works closely with the two other member states: the one that preceded it and the one that will follow it. This partnership is known as the ‘trio Presidency’. Czech Republic and Sweden will follow the French presidency, together they form the current trio.

The trio determines long-term objectives and draws up a programme containing the major issues the Council will tackle over the next 18 months. To this end, each of the three member states draws up its own six-month programme. The main purpose of the trios lies in ensuring that there is a smoother transition between presidencies and that the  continuity and effectiveness of the Council's work is enhanced over the long term.

 

The presidency has two main tasks:

  1. planning and chairing meetings in the Council and its preparatory bodies (with the exception of the Foreign Affairs Council); 
  2. representing the Council, mediating and brokering compromises between the EU member states and between EU institutions such as the Council, European Commission and European Parliament.

In 2017, during his speech at the Sorbonne, the French President of the Republic invited the EU to a sovereignty agenda which comes out with the opening of the PFUE and its three key principles : Strength; Relaunch; European belonging.

France’s priorities and orientations for the PFUE are reflected in the strategic challenges for Digital Health in Europe. 
The official Presidency event program includes 22 events organized by the French and EU digital health ecosystem with 2 institutional events/ high-level conferences (Ministerial Conference “Citizenship, Ethics and Health Data” and the eHealth Network meeting)

Get to know our activities

The Agency committed to the Health@EU program!

The ANS has long been commited in European initiatives in digital health. After the COVID-19 health crisis, the EU4Health program was set up by the European Commission with the aim of supporting the actions of European health authorities for 2021-2027 of which the ANS is a part.

 

Published on March 26, 2021, the “EU for Health” or “EU4Health” program aims to significantly contribute to the post-COVID-19 recovery plan through strengthening the resilience of health systems and promoting innovation. This is thanks to the provision of 5.1 billion euros for the period 2021-2027, a budget more than ten times higher than that of previous health programs.

Towards a European Semantic Interoperability

France has chosen to commit to the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT) terminology, within the European dynamic, aiming in particular to enable the construction of the future European health data space, a strategic axis of the French Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

It does this with co-financing from the European Union and subject to the contractual and legal finalization of the ongoing negotiations between France and the SNOMED International association.

The ANS in charge of the WHO-France Collaborating Center

The French Collaborating Center of the World Health Organization (WHO) for the Family of International Classifications (ccWHO FCI) has the main objectives of developing, disseminating and promoting in France the use of international classifications produced by the WHO. The center thus plays a key role in the maintenance, implementation both from the point of view of deployment and development of uses, and the translation into French of the classifications which are:

  • the International Classification of Diseases (ICD),
  • the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF),
  • the International Classification of Health Interventions (ICHI).

The center, under the supervision of the WHO, belongs to the network of collaborating centers. The objective of the network is to share knowledge and good practices in the field of health classifications.

Concerning the deployment of the CIM 11, this network also allows the pooling of resources (e.g.: French-speaking translations and the development of training modules for the French-speaking world). The French collaborating center is also involved in improving the structuring of information in the electronic patient file and the development of terminological bridges between WHO Classifications and Complementary Terminologies, to better meet the digital needs of health professionals, in the production of care, and epidemiologists, in data exploitation.

In France, the Sesali service

Discover the service in 3 minutes

In France, the entry point for data from the MyHealth@EU programme is Sesali. The Sesali service allows you to consult a European patient summary securely, in a structured way and in French, in just a few clicks! Sesali currently uses data from the Patient Summary section, and work is underway to enable it to collect e-Prescriptions documents as well.

The service is available to healthcare professionals directly on the website www.sesali.fr

And for eHealth companies, its API is available for incorporating into software on the industry portal.

On the European Pathway

The digital health roadmap now integrates current European programs to which the Digital Health Agency and its partners contribute.

Discover the international dimension in the chapter “The European Health Data Space (MaSanté@UE and Sesali)” of the digital health doctrine (page 57, french content).

This chapter covers the essential elements, namely: The European Health Data Space, the presentation of benefits through use cases with MyHealth@EU and the Sesali portal. As well as the associated ambitions and planning.
