The law on improving access to care, known as the RIST law, has recently expanded the skills of pedicurists-podiatrists in prescribing plantar orthotics, allowing them to do so without prior prescription from a doctor. This measure is one of the novelties introduced by this law, which aims to provide better access to care and to facilitate the care pathway for patients.
Foot care for diabetics also taken into account
The RIST law also provides for an extension of the skills of podiatrists in the gradation of the podiatric risk of diabetic patients. They will thus be able to benefit from appropriate care prescribed by competent professionals. This measure is part of a desire to guarantee optimal care for people with diabetes. It is important to remember that foot-related disorders can have serious consequences for people with this disease, and that prompt and effective treatment is therefore essential.
Fast and efficient support
By authorizing podiatrists to prescribe orthopedic insoles, the RIST law aims to improve access to care and streamline the care pathway for patients. From now on, patients can therefore go directly to a podiatrist to obtain a plantar orthosis, without having to go through a doctor. This measure should make it possible to free up medical time for doctors, while guaranteeing rapid and efficient care for patients suffering from foot disorders.
Rigorous follow-up of care between podiatrists and doctors
It is important to emphasize that the diagnostic reports and treatment reports must however be sent by the podiatrist-podiatrist to the attending physician. This rigorous follow-up ensures complete and coordinated care of patients by the various health professionals, and guarantees continuity of care for the people concerned.
