• Bolstering eHealth governance 
• Enhancing the security and interoperability of health it systems 
• Accelerating the rolling out of core digital services 
• Providing training and support to professionals on these resources 
• Supporting innovation 
• Encouraging the involvement of all stakeholders 

In France, the eHealth players represent all the organisations, institutes, companies, and health professionals involved in creating or improving digital solutions and services to optimise patient care pathways.  

The main orientations of this national roadmap require a shared vision and harmonious dialogue among all these players, namely, between the various care institutions, medical professionals and developers of innovative products or services for the health sector. Doctors must be able to certify that their digital work tool(s) provide 100% security for their patients' medical and care data.
