The GHT Rouen Cœur de Seine hospital network in Normandy is deploying generative AI tools to 15,000 healthcare workers to reduce administrative workloads and accelerate medical research. Orange Business will host the Live Intelligence platform locally in France, meeting strict European data sovereignty requirements for healthcare organizations.
Reducing documentation time
The system connects directly to existing hospital information systems to manage operational workflows across clinical, administrative, and technical roles. The primary goal is to cut the time staff spend on repetitive documentation tasks.
Early results show concrete time savings. Research teams at Rouen University Hospital now complete grant applications in two days, down from three weeks. Procurement teams use the platform to draft technical specifications and evaluation criteria for public tenders, reducing processing time from two weeks to one day.
Stéphanie Decoopman, CEO of Rouen University Hospital, said: "We chose Live Intelligence to provide the GHT Rouen Cœur de Seine public hospital group with an accessible, secure and tailored Gen AI solution across our network."
Restoring clinical focus
The heavy volume of compliance and documentation tasks frequently pulls medical staff away from direct patient care. Orange Business is acting as an integrator to support health organizations through this structural shift, adapting to new AI developments such as agentic AI.
Claire Scotton, VP of Healthcare & Life Sciences at Orange Business, said: "Some hospital staff today can feel they have become 'data managers' as much as healthcare professionals, spending significant time on documentation, administrative tasks and coordination."
The deployment covers all job functions within the regional network. The hospital group expects the platform to deliver measurable time savings for administrative and operational workflows across the region.
Broader healthcare applications
This approach mirrors similar efforts in other health systems to restore clinical time. NHS England, for example, is deploying Microsoft 365 Copilot to 505,000 clinicians to improve service delivery and reduce costs.
As AI for Healthcare tools become more common, platforms that keep data within national borders will be essential for meeting high sovereignty standards in European medical settings.
Why this matters for healthcare professionals
Automation of routine documentation directly affects daily workflows for clinical and administrative staff. By cutting tasks like grant writing and procurement drafting from weeks to days, these tools free up hours that can be redirected toward patient care or complex medical research. Hospitals evaluating similar systems should prioritize platforms that integrate directly with existing electronic health records and guarantee local data hosting to meet compliance standards.
