CAPPS Bretagne (Structure Régionale d'Appui)

What CAPPS Bretagne (Structure Régionale d'Appui) does

CAPPS Bretagne (Coordination pour l'Amélioration des Pratiques Professionnelles en Santé) is a healthcare cooperation group (Groupement de Coopération Sanitaire) established in 2013 and officially designated in December 2019 by the Agence Régionale de Santé de Bretagne as the Structure Régionale d'Appui (SRA) à la qualité des soins et la sécurité des patients for the Brittany region. The organization supports healthcare establishments and professionals across the sanitary, medico-social, and ambulatory (ville) sectors, plus patient representatives, with five core missions: methodological support (accompanying facilities through HAS certification, EIGS serious-adverse-event analysis, and safety-culture measurement), training adapted to facility needs (via the Hop3team catalog and QUALIOPI certification), information relay between national/regional bodies and field actors, practice-exchange events (webinars and regional days), and co-construction of tools with practitioners and users.

Its technology stack centers on the eFORAP national evaluation platform (redesigned in 2021) for evaluation campaigns, the Interstis-based Espace Adhérent member portal, and proprietary gamified training tools such as the CAPPS à l'Ouest board game, its giant floor variant, and the Dénutricartes collaborative tool for malnutrition awareness. Delivery is primarily regional: monthly and bi-monthly webinars ('60 minutes Certif', 'Midis de la Qualité'), annual regional days on nutrition, mental health, and patient partnership, and direct on-site accompaniment at member facilities.

CAPPS Bretagne generates revenue through a membership model comprising a one-time 100 euro capital contribution and annual contributions calculated as a percentage of each member establishment's budget, supplemented by ARS Bretagne funding (PAPRAPS) and QUALIOPI-certified training fees. Members gain access to exclusive resources, the member portal, training, evaluation campaigns, and methodological support, while non-member events and resources remain openly available. The organization operates on a non-commercial basis under its GCS governance and has no external venture, private equity, or public-market funding.

Core offering

CAPPS Bretagne is a regional support structure (Structure Régionale d'Appui) designated by the Regional Health Agency (ARS) of Brittany to support healthcare establishments and professionals in quality improvement and patient safety. The organization provides methodological support, training, evaluation campaigns, and practice analysis across the sanitary, medico-social, and liberal healthcare sectors through a membership-based model.

Product overview

CAPPS Bretagne (Coordination pour l'Amélioration des Pratiques Professionnelles en Santé) is a healthcare quality improvement organization designated as Structure Régionale d'Appui (Regional Support Structure) by the Brittany Regional Health Agency. The organization operates as a service-based support network rather than a software product company, offering a portfolio of interconnected services: core support and accompaniment services (Accompagnements), training programs (Formation via Hop3team catalog), evaluation campaigns via the eFORAP platform, and member-exclusive resources through the Interstis-based Espace Adhérent portal. The portfolio includes specialized tools such as playful educational gaming materials for malnutrition awareness, safety culture measurement questionnaires, and methodological support for serious adverse event management. Events and webinars ('60 minutes Certif', 'Midis de la qualité') serve as the primary delivery channels for knowledge sharing and practice exchange across sanitary, medico-social, and city healthcare sectors in Brittany.

Broad incumbents

• HAS (Haute Autorité de Santé): HAS is the French national health authority that defines certification and evaluation standards which CAPPS Bretagne operationalizes for its members. While not a competitor, HAS is the upstream body whose standards shape all SRA work, making it the closest broad-incumbent reference point for value assessment.

Direct peers

• RSQA (Réseau Santé Qualité Hauts-de-France): RSQA is the SRA serving Hauts-de-France with comparable quality improvement and patient safety services. Operates the same SRA mandate for hospitals, ESMS, and ambulatory care, making it a direct regional peer to CAPPS Bretagne.
• FORAP (Fédération des Organismes Régionaux et Appalachiens pour l'Amélioration des Pratiques): FORAP is the national federation of which CAPPS Bretagne is a regional member, coordinating national evaluation campaigns and developing shared tools like EPP guides. Operates at a meta-level across all French SRAs and is the closest organizational analogue for cross-regional strategy.
• CCECQA (Comité de Coordination de l'Évaluation Clinique et de la Qualité en Aquitaine): CCECQA is another Structure Régionale d'Appui (SRA) providing healthcare quality improvement and patient safety support to establishments in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. It is the most direct functional peer of CAPPS Bretagne, operating under the same Decree 2016-1606 framework with similar member-based accompaniment, evaluation campaigns, and EIGS support.
• QUALI-SANTE (SRA Occitanie): QUALI-SANTE performs the equivalent SRA function for the Occitanie region, offering accompaniment, EPP campaigns, and EIGS support. Functional peer to CAPPS Bretagne, addressing the same quality and patient safety mission in another French region.
• REQUA (Réseau Qualité des établissements de santé - Bourgogne-Franche-Comté): REQUA is the SRA for Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, providing evaluation campaigns, training, and patient safety support. Structurally and functionally analogous to CAPPS Bretagne under the same national regulatory framework.
• CEPPPRAAL (Structure Régionale d'Appui Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes): CEPPPRAAL is the SRA for the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, providing practice evaluation, EIGS support, and certification preparation to healthcare establishments. Directly comparable to CAPPS Bretagne as a peer SRA in a different region with similar statutory mission and service mix.

Regional players

• OMÉDIT (Observatoires du Médicament, des Dispositifs médicaux et de l'Innovation Thérapeutique): OMÉDIT Bretagne is one of CAPPS Bretagne's core partners on medication management topics and runs in parallel as a regional observatory. Operates in a related but adjacent regulatory space (medication safety vs broader quality/safety), with each regional OMÉDIT serving its own ARS territory.
