Hôpital de Vallon Pont D'Arc

What Hôpital de Vallon Pont D'Arc does

Hôpital de Vallon Pont D'Arc (legal name: Centre Hospitalier de Vallon Pont d'Arc, also styled Centre Hospitalier SULLY ELDIN de Vallon Pont d'Arc) is a public hospital establishment (Établissement public) operating under the French public health code. Its core service portfolio comprises three care lines: acute Medicine and post-acute Soins Médicaux et de Réadaptation (SMR), and Établissement d'Hébergement pour Personnes Âgées Dépendantes (EHPAD) elderly residential care, including a protected cognitive-disorder unit. The main site at No. 6 Rue Louis Claron, Vallon Pont d'Arc, runs three renovated buildings (Le Pont d'Arc opened 2000 with 64 beds; Les Rosiers renovated 2002 with 26 beds; Le Chastelas renovated 2010 with 46 beds) for a combined 126 beds. Effective 1 January 2026, the operating authorisation of EHPAD de Ruoms (114 individual rooms plus a 12-bed Unité de Vie Protégée and independent pavilions) was transferred to the hospital, expanding total capacity to approximately 240 beds across two sites in southern Ardèche.

The underlying technology stack is conventional medical and medico-social infrastructure: hospital information systems, patient identification via wristbands with systematic oral verification, a pharmaceutical circuit managed by two part-time pharmacists and one full-time technician, an in-house kitchen, and outsourced inter-hospital laundry. There is no documented API, no proprietary AI, and no developer-facing integrations. Service quality is independently validated by HAS Certification A (V2014, awarded May 2016 for the MCO/SSR sector) and an external EHPAD evaluation (2013).

The business model is statutory public-sector reimbursement. Medicine and SMR are funded through the French T2A activity-based system (Assurance Maladie), with daily rates of €518.79 (medicine) and €273.76 (SMR) plus a €20/day forfait journalier. EHPAD uses a three-tariff structure: care (covered 100% by health insurance), accommodation (resident-borne), and dependency (resident and/or Conseil Départemental under APA), with 2026 single-room tariff at €62.97/day TTC and double rooms at €54.13/day TTC. Patients access medicine/SMR via physician referral or inter-facility transfer; EHPAD applications flow through the national Via Trajectoire platform. The hospital participates in the Groupement Hospitalier de Territoire Sud Ardèche (13 structures, established July 2016), the GCS SI3H cooperative (6 structures), and operates under a shared direction commune with CH de Villeneuve de Berg and EHPAD de Ruoms, with Centre Hospitalier d'Aubenas as the reference hospital for emergencies, specialised consultations, and medical imaging.
