What Agence régionale de santé Bourgogne-Franche-Comté does

Agence régionale de santé Bourgogne-Franche-Comté (ARS BFC) is a French public administrative agency (établissement public administratif) operating under the authority of the Ministère des Solidarités et de la Santé. Created in 2016 through the merger of the former ARS Bourgogne and ARS Franche-Comté following the territorial reform that combined the two regions, the agency is headquartered in Dijon with seven territorial directions covering all eight departments of the region (Côte-d'Or, Doubs, Jura, Nièvre, Haute-Saône, Saône-et-Loire, Yonne, Territoire de Belfort). It serves a regional population of more than 2.8 million inhabitants and coordinates 11 Groupements Hospitaliers de Territoire (GHT).

The agency's mandate covers regulation, organization, funding, and oversight of healthcare and medico-social establishments, installation support for health professionals, public health prevention, health emergency preparedness, and quality/safety inspection. It operates a portfolio of digital platforms that constitute its core technical infrastructure: ViaTrajectoire for patient orientation and admission; eTICSS for digital coordination of health-social actors serving 350,000 inhabitants in northern Saône-et-Loire; STARS FIR for management of Regional Intervention Fund financing projects; RPPS (Répertoire Partagé des Professionnels de Santé) as a directory of authorized practitioners; the Cartothèque BFC cartographic service backed by ORS BFC health observatory data; and a telemedicine platform deployed across Ni\u00e8vre and Nord-FC territories. Communication channels include a website, social media, RSS feeds, a bimonthly partner newsletter (Territoires de Santé), and press relations.

The ARS BFC does not generate commercial revenue. It is funded by the French state budget and distributes funds through the Fonds d'Intervention Régional (FIR), which allocated over 243 million euros to 1,352 territorial health projects in 2024, and the newer Fonds d'Intervention Territorial (FIT). The agency is governed by a Board of Directors installed on March 8, 2024 under the 3DS law of February 22, 2022, with five collèges representing State, Health Insurance, Local authorities, Patient associations, and Qualified personalities. Mathilde Marmier serves as Director General. Services are delivered free of charge through territorial offices and online portals, with stakeholder segments spanning healthcare establishments, medico-social facilities, health professionals, the general public, local elected officials, and regional institutions.
