They implement the national digital health policy at regional level with the support of a regional e-health development support group (GRADeS), to which they delegate all or part of the regional project management. ARSs support the development of core digital services (deployment of the DMP, use of secure health messaging systems, territorial digital services for coordinating healthcare pathways, etc.) and encourage innovative experimentation in all areas of healthcare policy.

• To identify actions deployed as part of the implementation of the regional e-health strategy (regional telehealth offering, projects underway, regional tools deployed, healthcare priorities, etc.);
• To find ground for experimentation and liaise with regional delegations of federations representing healthcare and medico-social establishments, representatives of private practitioners, user representatives, etc.
• To know the regulatory framework in force and access reference documentation.

• From the mock-up / prototyping phase: know the e-health service offering deployed, be directed to existing healthcare innovation support schemes (e.g. DGOS calls for projects, IReSP, ANR, Conseil Régional, etc.) depending on the project's degree of maturity.

• During the development/commissioning phase: identify an experimentation field, benefit from financial support enabling the implementation of experiments in line with current thematic priorities and the schedule of calls for projects and calls for expressions of interest.
