title: [Information transfer between health structures. How and to whom is the information transferred?].
abstract: The evolution of the French health-care system is based on the development of patient management in the health-care system. The public services associate nurses with alternatives to hospitalization in order to favor the emergence of such facilities. This evolution changes the habits and the needs of professionals. Communication between the nurses is the basis of this function. In order to assure the continuity of health-care, both private and hospital nurses need information. However this is either not the case, or is inadequate to the expectations and needs of the nurses. The motives will be analyzed and some proposals offered. In recording and analyzing liaison records, interesting accounts were revealed which foresees the possibilities of an evolution at the information network level between the hospital and the extra-hospital sector. Some propositions will be put forth in order to assure a greater coherence in the endeavor for health-care continuity.
