Market trends & industry challenges
Rising costs
Switzerland's healthcare system is struggling with rising costs. This is due to the ageing population, increasing demand for medical services and high regulatory requirements. These factors make it more difficult to remain profitable and improve access.
Financial sustainability
The balance between costs and income is important. At the same time, the quality of care must be maintained. This requires new financial strategies and efficient processes.
Digital transformation
Integrating new technologies and ensuring cyber security are important. Digital healthcare solutions help to improve care and efficiency.
Data management
The use of big data can improve decision-making and outcomes for patients. This is important, but also challenging in the complex Swiss healthcare system.
Integrated models
The coordination of care between different providers should improve patient outcomes. Efficiency is also important, as is cost control. This requires innovation and collaboration.
