September 2024. The “Core Digital Competencies” reference framework becomes mandatory. 12 sectors concerned. 28 hours to be delivered. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n Everyone’s talking about the 28-hour week. Nobody talks about the trainers who will teach them.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Here’s the problem the administration hasn’t budgeted for.<\/p>\n\n 2024-2025 training budget for IFSIs in France:<\/strong> ~\u20ac450M (source DREES).<\/p>\n\n Typical distribution :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Now for the real question:<\/strong> how much of the 10% “continuing education for trainers” goes to digital health?<\/p>\n\n Response from 8 IFSIs:<\/strong> between 2% and 5%. That’s 900K\u20ac to 2.25M\u20ac to train ALL the trainers in France.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Let’s do the math:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Available budget per trainer:<\/strong> \u20ac183 to \u20ac460.<\/p>\n\n What are you financing with this budget?<\/strong> A one-day training course (costs 800-1200\u20ac). Or 2-3 webinars. Or a MOOC. <\/strong> Not 28 hours of operational mastery in 5 complex areas.<\/p>\n\n The standard requires 5 areas:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Problem 1: The trainers didn’t have these skills.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n An executive trainer graduating in 2018 has NEVER received training in :<\/p>\n\n These are not “updates”.<\/strong> These are new skills.<\/p>\n\n Problem 2: Digital health is evolving faster than training cycles.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n The standard was published in November 2022. Between 2022 and today :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n A trainer trained in January 2023 is already teaching partially obsolete content in October 2025.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Problem 3: No standardized teaching resources.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n The reference manual says WHAT to teach. It doesn’t say HOW.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Example:<\/strong> “Teaching teleconsultation”.<\/p>\n\n A trainer must turn this into :<\/p>\n\n There are no shared resources.<\/strong> As a result,<\/strong> 327 IFSIs are each reinventing the wheel.<\/p>\n\n The French Labor Code imposes a clear obligation on employers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n The employer must ensure that employees are adapted to their jobs and maintain their employability, particularly in light of technological developments.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n This obligation applies directly to training managers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Legal consequence:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n If a trainer receives a reprimand for “inability to integrate new methods” and has never received any training<\/strong>, he or she can take legal action. The employer will have to prove that he has fulfilled his obligation. <\/p>\n\n Recent case law confirms this:<\/strong> failure to meet the obligation of technological adaptation leads to the award of damages.<\/p>\n\n No establishment is immune.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Netherlands: Training BEFORE deployment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 2019: Integration of digital health into nursing curricula. But BEFORE :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Result:<\/strong> 2023 compliance rate: 94% of IFSIs apply the standard with validated quality.<\/p>\n\n European Union: The DigCompEdu<\/a> framework<\/strong><\/p>\n\n The EU has published the Digital Competence Framework for Educators:<\/p>\n\n This framework addresses the HOW of teaching with digital technology<\/strong>, not just the WHAT.<\/p>\n\n LEVERAGE 1: Share teaching resources<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Instead of 327 IFSIs each creating their own media:<\/p>\n\n \u2192 Regional sharing platform (NHS Digital Learning model)<\/p>\n\n \u2192 IFSI consortiums by region (5-10 establishments)<\/p>\n\n Investment:<\/strong> ~500 K\u20ac per region<\/p>\n\n ROI:<\/strong> Saves 50,000 design hours<\/p>\n\n LEVIER 2: Certify trainers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Digital health trainer” certification:<\/p>\n\n \u2192 40 hours of initial training<\/p>\n\n \u2192 8 hours of annual updates<\/p>\n\n Investment:<\/strong> ~\u20ac2M national<\/p>\n\n ROI:<\/strong> Educational credibility + compliance + legal protection<\/p>\n\n LEVIER 3: Rotation of trainers in the field<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Annual internship :<\/p>\n\n \u2192 2 weeks\/year of digital health services<\/p>\n\n \u2192 Maintaining practical skills<\/p>\n\n Investment:<\/strong> Cost of replacing trainers<\/p>\n\n ROI:<\/strong> Grounded in reality + continuous updating<\/p>\n\n The digital health repository is a major step forward.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Its success depends on an invisible element: investment in trainers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n The figures are clear:<\/p>\n\n Otherwise, we’d be repeating the classic French pattern:<\/strong> excellent regulatory intentions, little impact on the ground.<\/p>\n\n The difference between the DMP (2005 failure) and this repository (2024)?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n It’s happening now.<\/strong> In 2025 budgets. In corporate priorities. <\/p>\n\n Let’s talk about your context.<\/strong> Diagnosis of training maturity, identification of training needs, structuring of FPC plan.<\/p>\n\n \ud83d\udc49 Schedule a free 30 min consultation<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n Download our free strategic reports:<\/p>\n\n \ud83d\udce5 Download your free reports \u2192 Blueprint MedTech<\/a><\/p>\n\n
