Key Benefits:
Publics concerned: residential institutions for dependent, insured, liberal health professionals.
Purpose: A single admission application file is in place for dependent elderly accommodations.
Entry into force: the text comes into force on 1 June 2012; establishments that, locally, already use a single file have a one-year deadline to comply with the national single file.
Notice: the desire to generalize the use of a single application file for admission to residential care for dependent elderly people (EHPAD) meets a goal of simplifying the procedures for admission to EHPAD for the benefit of older persons and their families, medical professionals including treating physicians, but also co-ordinating physicians. There are many applications, with very heterogeneous content, varying according to the establishments. The decree provides that the application file is in accordance with a model set by order. This application file has been developed in consultation with institutional managers as well as with health professionals from cases already implemented in certain regions or departments.
