Anonymity - Confidentiality

If you do not wish your presence to be disclosed, please let reception know. All necessary steps will be taken to preserve your anonymity. Please note that all staff are bound by a duty of discretion, reserve and professional secrecy with regard to all information that comes to their knowledge in the course of their work.

Person of trust (art. L 1111-6 of the Public Health Code)

When you are admitted, you will be asked to appoint a trusted support person.

This person may be a relative, a close friend or your GP, and will be consulted if you are unable to express your wishes and receive the necessary information. He or she can accompany you through the process and attend medical appointments to help you make decisions.

This appointment may be revoked at any time. If you would like to find out more about the trusted support person, please contact the nursing staff, who will provide you with an information booklet.

Person to contact

When you are admitted, you will be asked to designate a person to be contacted in the event of a situation requiring this (formalities, transport, accompaniment, etc.). The person to be notified may or may not be the same as the trusted support person.

Information about your state of health and consent to treatment

You have the right to be informed about your state of health at every stage of your care. You will make decisions about your health with your doctor, based on the information he or she will have given you in a personal interview.

These decisions relate to the various investigations, treatments or preventive actions, their usefulness, any urgency, their consequences and the frequent or serious risks normally foreseeable that they entail.

You are required to give your consent to any treatment proposed. You may withdraw your consent at any time or reverse any decision to refuse treatment.

Rights of minors and adults under guardianship

The consent of minors or adults under guardianship must be systematically sought if they are capable of expressing their wishes and participating in the decision. The information provided must be clear and fair, and adapted to the degree of maturity and the faculties of discernment of the persons concerned.

If the refusal of treatment by the person with parental authority or by the guardian could have serious consequences for the health of the minor or the adult under guardianship, the doctor will provide the necessary treatment.

Advance directives (art. L 1111-11 and R 1111-17 of the Public Health Code)

Any adult may, if they wish, draw up advance directives in the event that they are one day unable to express their wishes. These advance directives indicate the person's wishes regarding the end of their life and the conditions for limiting or stopping treatment. They may be revoked at any time.

Provided they were drawn up less than three years before you became unconscious, the doctor will take them into account when making any decision about investigations, interventions or treatment concerning you.

Advance directives may be renewed every three years, and in the meantime may be cancelled or amended at any time. To ensure that your directives are taken into account, please inform the doctor who will be treating you at the hospital of their existence. If you would like to find out more about this procedure, please contact the nursing staff, who will provide you with an information booklet.

The culture of good treatment

Promoting good treatment is one of the establishment's fundamental values. As part of your care, we are committed to :

  • providing quality care that respects the dignity of the individual,
  • respect patients' modesty and privacy,
  • respect the rules of confidentiality,
  • taking into account patients' autonomy,
  • listening and showing empathy,
  • improve communication with patients by exchanging ideas and understanding,
  • adopting appropriate language by not being on a first-name basis or using familiar terms,
  • improving pain management.

Rights and procedures for accessing medical records (art. L 1111-7 and R 1111-2 to 9 of the French Public Health Code)

You have the right to access the information contained in your medical file. To do so, you must send a written request to the management of the establishment, enclosing proof of identity. You may access this information directly or through a doctor of your choice.

You may also consult them on site, free of charge, with or without the assistance of a doctor, as you wish.

The information contained in your medical file cannot be made available to you until at least 48 hours after your request, and at the latest within eight days. If the information is more than five years old, this period is extended to two months.

In the event of your death, your beneficiaries may also, under certain conditions, request access to your medical records, provided they can prove their status.

In the case of minors, the right to access medical information concerning them is reserved for those with parental authority, unless the minor has refused to allow his or her parents to be informed. The minor then has a genuine right to secrecy and a right of access reserved for him or her alone.

The minor may also request that the holder of parental authority be given access to information concerning him or her via a doctor.

Information technology and civil liberties

The establishment uses IT resources designed to facilitate the management of your personal data in strict compliance with professional secrecy.

Under the supervision of the French Data Protection Authority (Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés), we undertake to maintain total confidentiality with regard to the personal information you have provided to us.

This principle applies in particular to

  • computerised processing of administrative data,
  • information contained in your medical file, whether written or processed by computer.

Your personal data is processed automatically under the conditions set out in Law no. 78-17 of 6 January 1978, as amended by the law of 20 June 2018 relating to information technology, files and civil liberties, and is protected in accordance with the principles of the European regulation on the protection of personal data.

Only doctors and staff at the establishment who require access to your personal data for administrative or medical purposes have access to it. The staff of subcontractors responsible for catering, stretcher transport and building maintenance have access to restricted information. Some information is also sent to doctors outside the hospital who are involved in your care (for example, your GP or a biologist).

The data is hosted either on the establishment's servers or by the service providers supplying the software. No data is stored or sent outside France.

You have the right to access the information concerning you in order to check its accuracy and, if necessary, to rectify, complete or update it, to object to its use, to request its portability or to request its deletion. You can exercise this right by contacting the doctor treating you, or by sending an e-mail to the following address: dpo.groupe@almaviva-sante.com

Note: messages sent to this address but not concerning data protection will not be processed and will be destroyed.

User Commission (CDU)

If you encounter any difficulties during your stay, you have the opportunity to make your comments to the medical staff or the manager of the department in which you are hospitalised.

If this is not possible, or if you are not satisfied with the explanations you receive, you can send a complaint or written claim directly to the management of the establishment.

You can also contact the Users' Committee (CDU).

Care-related damage

If you feel that you have suffered serious damage as a result of a preventive, diagnostic or treatment activity, you can refer the matter to the Commission Régionale de Conciliation et d'Indemnisation (CRCI). Its role is to facilitate the amicable settlement of disputes between users and health establishments. CRCI - Le Rhône Alpes- 235 cours Lafayette - 69006 LYON

Consumer complaints and mediation

All complaints must be sent in writing to the establishment's quality department by e-mail: qualite.casamance@almaviva-sante.com or by post: Hôpital Privé la Casamance - 33 Boulevard des Farigoules - 13400 Aubagne. If the request for a complaint to the quality department fails within one month, the patient may submit the dispute with the establishment to the mediator free of charge within a maximum period of one year from the date of the written complaint. The mediator will attempt, independently and impartially, to bring the parties together with a view to finding an amicable solution.

The mediator's contact details are as follows

  • ANM Consommation, an association under the law of 1901
  • Online: www.anmconso.com
  • E-mail: contact@anmconso.com
  • By post: Médiation de la Consommation ANM Consommation 02 rue de Colmar à Vincennes 94300.

The mediator may be contacted by e-mail, online or by post. In addition to their full contact details (surname, first name, contacts) and the written complaint that they must first have sent to the establishment's quality department in order to try to resolve their dispute directly, patients are encouraged to provide the following information to the mediator:

  • The nature of the request
  • A statement and description of the dispute
  • All documents and factual evidence useful to the mediator's understanding and analysis of the case.
