According to Jérôme Lespagne of Health-Comm France, 2025 was a successful year for transitioning the distribution support of Cloverleaf licenses. He analyzes that interoperability has become a strategic pillar for healthcare institutions. The market trend shows a strong need to streamline and harmonize data exchange between SIH, regional digital platforms, and private structures. Securing data flow via EAI platforms is crucial due to the rise of FHIR and clinical AI tools. The three main strategic priorities for 2026 are: First, strengthening its role as a national reference vendor on Cloverleaf by assisting hospitals in transitioning from HL7 v2 to GET request methods using API REST/Web services. This aims for more agile and interoperable SIH. Second, enhancing the ability to handle structured data using FHIR and FR Core to meet growing needs in clinical research and population health. Third, building a sustainable interoperability ecosystem involving hospitals, DPIs, national platforms, and AI industries. Through these efforts, Health-Comm aims to become France's primary hub for operational interoperability, supporting the realization of a secure and connected e-health system.
