The MSSanté network system creates a Secure Space, which is managed by the ANS. This Secure Space includes messaging service providers under contract with the Agency (health structures, operators, administrators, etc.) in order to secure globally the electronic messaging services proposed to health professionals. There are many messaging services integrated to the Secure Space, which protects the sharing of health data.

Generally speaking, the PGSSI-S needs to be applied as soon as personal health data are being handled. It is relevant to the public sector as well as the private sector, health professionals, workers of the social-health and social sectors, healthcare establishments and service providers. 

As a patient, the PGSSI-S is a seal of guarantee on the accountability of digital health ecosystems.

Complying with the PGSSI-S frames of reference is either required by law (if the documents have been approved by a ministerial decree) or meant to be followed on a short-term basis until the documents are approved by the ministry.

MSSanté is a secure messaging system that enables authorised professional to share sensitive patient data in a safe manner, in the context of the patient’s care monitoring. As of now, billing and invoicing data are not included in this perimeter.

MSSanté is an umbrella term which refers to the network of secure messaging services dedicated to healthcare, integrated in a Secure Space. Mailiz is one of the messaging services that is part of this Secure Space, which is managed by the ANS and proposed to health professionals by the Ordres de Santé (Health Governing Bodies).
