QualiREL Santé

What QualiREL Santé does

QualiREL Santé is a French non-profit association (association loi 1901) founded in 2012 and headquartered at Hôpital Saint Jacques in Nantes, France. Designated by the Agence Régionale de Santé (ARS) des Pays de la Loire since 2018 as the regional support structure for healthcare quality and patient safety (Structure Régionale d'Appui), the organization operates as a membership-based regional coordinator serving healthcare establishments, medico-social structures, and city healthcare professionals across the Pays de la Loire region. The organization has built a network of 650+ to 860+ member structures and 750+ referents, with origins tracing back to 2005 through predecessor regional quality networks (RACQESEL, CRIQUE 85, Aquares 49, QualiSanté 44, Aquarel Santé, QualiSanté) that consolidated into QualiREL Santé in 2017.

The organization operates three core digital platforms: eFORAP (online professional practice evaluation tools), EVIDENS (adverse event management for multidisciplinary health practices), and TalkSpirit (collaborative community platform). These platforms are complemented by three sector-specific webinar series (45 minutes de décryptage for health establishments, MQMS for medico-social structures, Mardis Cosy'Quali for city healthcare professionals), multi-month structured support programs (Manager par la qualité, Retour d'expérience sur la gestion des EIAS, Déployer une dynamique qualité), methodology guides (EasyLEAD, EasyREX), the annual FORAP EIAS challenge, documentary and regulatory monitoring services, and EIGS (serious adverse event) mission support. The technology stack is accessible and GDPR-compliant under RGAA 4.1 accessibility standards.

QualiREL Santé's business model is association-based, with revenue derived from membership fees paid by affiliated healthcare structures and public regional funding from the ARS des Pays de la Loire. The organization does not publicly disclose commercial pricing, consistent with its non-profit designation. Distribution is regional and direct, delivered through account management, member-engagement programs, self-service platforms, workshops (including locations in Angers), and webinar events. Strategic partners include national regulator HAS, designating authority ARS Pays de la Loire, national federation FORAP, OMEDIT Pays de la Loire, CPIAS Pays de la Loire, simulation center All'Sims, patient federation France Assos Santé, and Belgian university Henallux.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Haute Autorité de Santé (HAS): National French regulatory authority that defines the HAS certification framework and ESSMS evaluation criteria; QualiREL supports healthcare facilities in implementing HAS standards, making HAS the upstream reference body.
• ANAP (Agence Nationale d'Appui à la Performance des établissements de santé et médico-sociaux): National French agency supporting health and medico-social establishments on operational performance, quality, and efficiency; broad overlap with QualiREL's remit but operating nationally and with a wider performance/efficiency mandate.

Others

• Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ): US federal agency producing healthcare quality measurement, patient safety tools, and provider improvement resources; thematic peer in mission and function, though operating at federal rather than regional scale and in a different healthcare system.

Direct peers

• CEPPRAL (Coordination pour l'Évaluation des Pratiques en Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes): Regional Structure d'Appui designated by ARS Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, performing the same SRA functions as QualiREL Santé (adverse event management, HAS certification support, peer practice evaluation) in another French region.
• FORAP (Fédération des Organismes Régionaux et Territoriaux pour l'Amélioration des Pratiques en santé): National federation of which QualiREL is a member, coordinating regional quality improvement structures across France and co-organizing the annual Challenge EIAS. Direct structural peer at the network level.
• PAQS (Plateforme pour l'Amélioration continue de la Qualité en Soins): Belgian non-profit platform offering comparable healthcare quality improvement programs (training pathways, adverse event support, networks of facilities) to the same archetypes of providers in Belgium. Geographic mirror of QualiREL's model.
• CPIAS (Centre d'appui pour la Prévention des Infections Associées aux Soins): National network of regional CPIAS centers (including CPIAS Pays de la Loire, an explicit QualiREL partner) supporting healthcare facilities on infection prevention and care-associated infection control; analogous regional support structure with allied mandate.
