Shed light on Swiss hospitals

The 12th edition of our annual Hospital Study focuses on the topic of digital transformation, which can be considered key to solving the current and future challenges of Swiss healthcare providers.

Here are five reasons why investing in digital transformation is worthwhile:

1. Increases productivity: Digital transformation can help increase productivity and thus reduce costs.?
2. Addresses the skills shortage: Automated systems and artificial intelligence can take over routine tasks, freeing up professionals to focus on more complex and patient-centred tasks.?
3. Improves the quality of care: Digital transformation enables patient-centred data collections that, both improve the accuracy of digital diagnostics and, help enable local research to develop new therapeutic approaches and evidence-based interventions.?
4. Promotes integrated care pathways: Digital transformation enables seamless collaboration between different healthcare stakeholders and is changing how and where we receive medical services.?
5. Deals with growing patient expectations: Digital health platforms, such as mobile apps, can give patients more control over their health and facilitate access to health information and services.?Download the study here.
