• Monitoring hospital-acquired infections;
• The training and advising of professional staff with regards to hospital hygiene and the prevention of hospital-acquired infections.

The Pain Prevention Committee (CLUD):

“Everyone is entitled to receive treatments to relieve pain. This must, in all circumstances, be anticipated, assessed, taken into account and treated.” Article L.110-5 of the French Public Health Code.

The Committee sets up procedures and protocols to prevent, treat and relieve pain. It helps define a coherent pain management policy and also promotes and implements actions in this field.

We implement all the means at our disposal to relieve your pain. The Center has a specific team of doctors and nurses who are trained in pain management.

If you experiencing pain, tell the nursing team: don’t hesitate to voice your suffering. Your doctor will prescribe a suitable treatment.

The Drug and Sterile Medical Devices Committee (COMEDIMS):

The Drug and Medical Devices Committee plays a role in the choice of the Center’s drugs and must resolve any issues arising from the prescription, issuance and administration of products.

This body is directed by the managing pharmacist and is responsible for the management and securing the medication circuit.

The Liaison Committee for Food and Nutrition (CLAN):

The purpose of this Committee is to gather together in a single advisory body all those involved in nutrition at the Center and is tasked to define the policy for ongoing improvement in providing food and nutrition at the establishment. This Committee is chaired by a doctor and a service users’ representative also sits on the Committee.

CLAN has the three-fold mission of:

• Advising on the improvement of all food and nutrition services (prevention of insufficient nourishment, diabetes, suitability of food textures, etc.);
• Giving impetus to appropriate actions that will resolve problems concerning food and nutrition;
• Training and advising staff concerned, focusing on priority actions to be implemented during the year.

Radiotherapy and drug circuit feedback unit (CREX):

The purpose of this body is to gather, analyse and track all undesirable events that may occur in radiotherapy. It encompasses all the Center’s radiotherapy professionals and meets every two months to analyse events using the ORION method prior to setting up correction measures which are then assessed. The same body deals with undesirable events linked to the medication circuit.

The Mortality and Morbidity Review (RMM) in outpatient chemotherapy and hospitalisation:

The RMM is a collective, retrospective and systematic analysis of cases in which death, complication or event that might have caused harm to a patient has occurred. The aim is to implement and monitor actions to improve patient care and treatment safety.

The Ethics Committee:

The Center’s Ethics Committee comprising a multidisciplinary team was created in 2011 not only to provide a permanent framework for constant review of professional institutional practices but also to meet in order to give an opinion on a given situation.

In additions to its mandatory bodies, the Center has set up working groups for various subjects such as patient files, Patient Days, support groups, sustainable development, and others.

Service users’ representative:

The service users’ representative is the spokesperson for all those using the Center’s services at the various commissions and bodies in which they have been appointed.
The representative is a member of a nationally or regionally approved association representing patients, service users, consumers or families.
Primarily, the representative ensures that the rights of ill people and those using the healthcare system are respected and made known, and also contributes to improving the quality of the healthcare system.
He/She represents users in healthcare establishments by participating, for example, in the Commission for Patient Advocacy and Treatment Experience Quality (CRUQPC) and the Committee to Control Hospital-Acquired Infections (CLIN).
The representative contributes to improving the daily life of patients and their family and friends by making their needs and problems known to the Center’s decision-makers, advising them on steps to be taken and, if need be, by guiding them in the healthcare system.
