France currently has more than 10 million disabled people, including 3 millions who could be better treated. In fact, people with disabilities face many obstacles in accessing care and receiving appropriate support (physical access to certain locations, communication...). Difficulties are also encountered by the healthcare staff, leading to often heterogeneous practices in health establishments. The INFRA health circuit has been set up at the "Groupe Hospitalier Mutualiste de Grenoble" since June 2018 according to the guidelines published by the French High Authority for Health (HAS) on improving professional practices "Reception, support and organization of care in health establishments for people in situation of handicap "of July 2017. The INFRA nurse collects and anticipates the necessary adaptations for the patient's stay, in conjunction with their caregivers (whether family or institutional). They are an interface with other healthcare professionals to adapt care procedures and protocols (body care, feeding methods, pain management, drug management) to the patient's disability. Before hospitalization and until the patient is discharged, the INFRA nurse transmits to the personnel involved all the information necessary for the proper continuation of care. In addition to legal and regulatory obligations, the INFRA nurse ensures the effective accessibility of the establishment's facilities and premises, and helps maintaining patient autonomy. The INFRA study is an observational study aimed at assessing the feasibility of the INFRA health circuit and evaluating the benefit for the patients and the healthcare staff.
