What appui sante berry does

Appui Santé Berry is a French non-profit association (loi 1901) operating two Dispositifs d'Appui à la Coordination (DAC) units that serve the Cher (18) and Indre (36) departments in the Centre-Val de Loire region. Its primary function is to coordinate complex healthcare situations by performing four formal roles: informing healthcare actors about available territorial resources, orienting actors toward appropriate services, supporting interprofessional practices, and coordinating care around complex patient cases. The organization serves both healthcare professionals (physicians, nurses, social workers) seeking coordination support and patients with complex needs, including cancer patients, elderly individuals at fall risk, and frequent emergency department users.

The organization runs multiple targeted programs including free supportive oncology care, an elderly fall prevention initiative targeting a 20% reduction in serious falls by 2026, the DAUM project for frequent emergency room users in Indre, and a tripartite coordination protocol with departmental fire services and the departmental council for fragile citizen support. Service delivery relies on a coordination framework comprising a referral form, interprofessional tools, and resources accessible through its website (appuisanteberry.fr), supplemented by LinkedIn pages for DAC 18 and DAC 36 and a YouTube channel; no proprietary software platform beyond these workflow tools is evident. Services are provided free of charge to patients and healthcare professionals, with all operational funding derived from the Agence Régionale de Santé (ARS) Centre-Val de Loire under its DAC mandate and national-level health policy frameworks via the French Ministry of Health. The revenue model is therefore a publicly-funded managed services structure rather than commercial monetization.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• DAC 41 Loir-et-Cher: Adjacent DAC covering the Loir-et-Cher department in the same Centre-Val de Loire region. Operates under the same national ARS mandate model, providing healthcare coordination for complex cases — directly comparable in scope, funding structure, and service mix.
• DAC 37 Indre-et-Loire: Neighbouring DAC for the Indre-et-Loire department in Centre-Val de Loire. Performs identical coordination, information, and support functions under ARS mandate, serving a more urbanized but comparable patient population with complex care needs.
• DAC 45 Loiret: Another Centre-Val de Loire DAC serving the Loiret department. Functions as the direct regional peer to Appui Santé Berry, running oncology support, elderly coordination, and complex case pathways under the same national framework.
• DAC 28 Eure-et-Loir: DAC covering Eure-et-Loir, the fourth Centre-Val de Loire department. Closest regional peer operating an identical mandate, with overlapping referral networks and shared ARS funding pool.
• CLIC (Centres Locaux d'Information et de Coordination gérontologique): Network of local information and coordination centres for elderly across France. Many CLICs have been integrated into the DAC model that Appui Santé Berry operates, making them the most direct historical peer for elderly coordination services.

Broad incumbents

• France Assos Santé: National umbrella organization representing patient and health associations in France. Operates at a national scale across the same healthcare coordination and patient advocacy space, with broader scope but comparable interface to ARS and the Ministère des Solidarités et de la Santé.
• Croix-Rouge française: Major French humanitarian and health/social services organization with nationwide coordination, home care, and elderly support programs. Operates at much greater scale and offers adjacent coordination and case management services relevant to the same patient populations.

Emerging players

• Doctolib: Leading French digital health platform connecting patients, providers, and increasingly offering coordination features. Far larger scale but adjacent in the French healthcare coordination technology space — a potential disruptor or partner for digital coordination workflows.
• KelDoc: French healthcare booking and coordination platform used by medical practices. Smaller than Doctolib but operates in the same digital health coordination category, with potential to extend into care pathway management for complex cases.

Others

• MAIA (Méthode d'Action pour l'Intégration des services d'aide et de soins dans le champ de l'Autonomie): National integrated care method for elderly that was historically a precursor to the DAC model. Many MAIA structures have been absorbed into DACs, making them a direct lineage peer for integrated elderly care coordination services.
