“Reducing diagnostic error: how do endometriosis pathways change the care pathway?

Better management of endometriosis does not only involve expert centres, but above all as a first line of action, an effective and accessible territorial organisation.

In this new episode of the replay of the 2025 Annual Conference, Élodie Lévy, coordinator of the Centre Ouest Filière Endométriose Île-de-France, presents an essential pillar of the national strategy against endometriosis: the territorial sectors.

Their ambition: to reduce delays, simplify pathways and bring care closer to patients’ daily lives.

Why endometriosis channels?

Set up as part of the national strategy announced in January 2022, the sectors meet two major challenges:

Reducing a diagnostic time, still estimated at between 7 and 10 years
Offering a clear, coordinated, multidisciplinary and local care pathway

Today, they cover the entire territory and work closely with patient associations.

A structured and graduated organization

In Île-de-France, four territorial courses coordinate the pathways, each led by a medical and administrative team.

The treatment is based on three levels of recourse, adapted to the complexity of the situations:

1st recourse: general practitioner or gynaecologist
2nd and 3rd Appeal: More Complex Situations
Targeted referrals according to needs (pain, fertility, ART, etc.)

Not all patients need an expert centre to be well cared for, but a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach is essential for quality follow-up.

Concrete tools for patients and professionals

The courses offer:

A website and directory of trained professionals
Multidisciplinary coordination of care
Free training, CPD, DU and therapeutic education programs
The aim is to promote earlier diagnosis, limit unnecessary explorations and improve the quality of life of the women concerned in the long term.
