At the level of the call for tenders, the new system seeks to provide a solution for a pathway-based approach to patient care management spanning the five establishments of the Armor territorial network by deploying a common system with the same software package used by all healthcare players of the territory (doctors, caregivers, surgeons, obstetricians, anaesthesiologists, emergency doctors, etc.)
