The major parameters of organisation and planning of healthcare facilities have been modified substantially by redefining the role of regional strategic health plans (SROS - Schéma régional d'organisation sanitaire). The new plans put greater emphasis on the health care needs of the population at the local level and promote an integrated health care approach coordinating prevention, acute and rehabilitation care.

Purpose of health policy or idea

With the ordinance of September 2003, the strategic regional health plans (SROS in French) became the main tool of planning and distributing hospital resources in France. The reform aims to simplify hospital planning by merging several planning tools and to reinforce the role of regional hospital agencies in controlling local hospital activities.
