Coordinating Nurse (Infirmier Coordinateur)

Coordinating Nurses (Infirmiers Coordinateurs, ICA or IDEC) manage the clinical care coordination of nursing home or home care service teams, ensuring continuity of care, medication management, care plan quality, and compliance with regulatory requirements in French healthcare settings. They serve as the clinical manager of non-physician care staff and are the primary interface with medical teams and families. This pivotal nursing leadership role is in high demand in EHPAD (Etablissements d'Hebergement pour Personnes Agees Dependantes) across France.
