Cegedim

Cegedim is one of France's largest health-technology groups, and its healthcare division sells the software layer French ambulatory care actually runs on: MonLogicielMedical.com (MLM) for GPs and specialists, and a family of RM Ingénierie products — Kiné+, Infi+, Ortho+ and Medi+ — for physiotherapists, nurses, speech therapists and midwives. Between them these cover most of the health professions that touch a French patient outside hospital, which is a different kind of breadth from a single-discipline EHR.

The products are built for French administrative reality rather than adapted to it: LAP-certified prescribing linked to the Base Claude Bernard drug database, DMP integration that publishes patient summaries automatically, secure messaging (MSS) with other providers, and electronic invoicing to the health insurance system. Simply Vitale adds a tablet-based Carte Vitale reader for mobile and home visits.

Cegedim SA is headquartered in Boulogne-Billancourt and listed on Euronext Paris, which gives it a scale and balance-sheet stability most single-product vendors in this category lack — and also means healthcare software is one line of business among several rather than the sole focus. No public price list is published; access runs through a sales conversation, with stated preferential terms for newly installed practitioners.

What Cegedim does well

• Covers GPs, specialists and four paramedical professions
• LAP-certified prescribing tied to the Base Claude Bernard drug database
• DMP and secure messaging (MSS) built in
• Publicly listed French group with financial scale
• Special terms for newly installed practitioners

Where Cegedim falls short

• No public price list
• Healthcare is one division within a larger, more diversified group
• Interface conventions vary between the MLM and RM Ingénierie product lines
• Primarily built for the French system

Standout feature. One vendor across GPs, specialists, nurses, physiotherapists and midwives, all tied to the same French drug database and DMP.
