ESSORT (Equipes de SoinS et ORganisation Territoriale)

What ESSORT (Equipes de SoinS et ORganisation Territoriale) does

AVECsanté Bretagne, formerly known as ESSORT (Equipes de SoinS et ORganisation Territoriale), is a French non-profit association (association loi 1901) founded in 2016 and headquartered in Rennes. It operates as a regional federation supporting healthcare professionals in Brittany who create and run coordinated care structures, including Maisons de Santé Pluriprofessionnelles (MSPs), Communautés Professionnelles Territoriales de Santé (CPTS), and Équipes de Soins Primaires (ESPs). In 2025 the association rebranded from ESSORT to AVECsanté Bretagne to align with the national AVECsanté federation.

The organization's offering is built around four service pillars: facilitation of healthcare-team coordination projects, training programs for MSP coordinators, accompaniment in the elaboration of health projects (Projets de Santé), and community-building through the Communauté des Coordinateurs and the Club MSP. Supporting resources include the Cartographie ERMINES mapping tool, a Boîte à Outils (document templates, practical sheets, legal guidance via Questions Juridiques), the Coordininfos newsletter, AVECVous en Visio webinars, and an annual Journée Régionale event. The core technology is explicitly characterized as not applicable, with value delivered primarily through human facilitation, training, and institutional coordination rather than software.

The business model is a recurring membership-fee subscription structure supplemented by institutional support from ARS Bretagne, Assurance Maladie Bretagne (CPAM), and Région Bretagne, alongside affiliation with the national AVECsanté federation. Go-to-market is community-led, relying on direct member engagement through the Mon Espace Adhérent portal, coordinator networks that function as distributed referral touchpoints, and multi-channel outreach via LinkedIn, the website, newsletter, regional events, and a monthly press review. With approximately 10 employees, operations are confined to the Brittany region.

Direct peers

• Fédération AVECsanté (national): National federation to which AVECsanté Bretagne belongs, coordinating the broader movement for pluriprofessional exercise across France and providing national-level resources, brand, and policy representation that the regional node extends locally.
• FFMPS (Fédération Française des Maisons et Pôles de Santé): Competing national federation of MSPs and pôles de santé in France with similar remit of supporting coordinated primary care structures, training, and policy advocacy — directly comparable in mission and constituency.

Others

• MG France: Leading French union of general practitioners; adjacent stakeholder rather than direct competitor, but its policy positions on coordinated care directly shape the environment in which AVECsanté Bretagne operates.
• ReAGJIR: French association representing young general practitioners and replacements; thematically related to coordinated primary care and a potential recruitment channel into MSPs that AVECsanté Bretagne supports.

Regional players

• AVECsanté Nouvelle-Aquitaine: Another regional AVECsanté federation providing identical coordinator training, facilitation, and community services to coordinated care structures across the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region.
• AVECsanté PACA: Sibling regional federation of the national AVECsanté movement serving Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, offering the same portfolio of facilitation, training, and community support to MSPs/CPTS/ESPs in its territory.

Broad incumbents

• France Assos Santé: National umbrella for healthcare users' associations; broader incumbent in French healthcare advocacy that overlaps with AVECsanté Bretagne's role as a convener and policy interlocutor, though it represents patients rather than providers.
