Reconnaissance over time on the cost of hospitals in Switzerland<\/h1>\n

The Federal Office of Public Health has published the second comparison of costs per case of hospitals and maternity hospitals in Switzerland<\/em><\/h3>\n

Today the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) published for the second time a comparison of the costs per case of hospitals and maternity hospitals in Switzerland. This enables a nationwide comparison of costs.
\nThe inpatient services of hospitals and maternity hospitals are paid for using the flat rates per case of the SwissDRG tariff structure.<\/p>\n

Homogeneous groups of differently weighted cases are formed in order to account for their differing complexity.
\nFor comparison purposes, a hospital’s individual case costs are considered net of this different weighting of its cases (individual case costs net of degree of severity).
\nIt is thus possible to compare the costs of a standardized case across different hospitals.<\/p>\n

Improvement in the plausibility of hospital data<\/h3>\n

The FOPH notes that, with a few exceptions, the costs per case are stable and that overall there have been no appreciable changes. There has also been a slight improvement in the plausibility of the hospital data.
\nHowever, the second publication of the costs per case after 2020 does not permit an in-depth analysis of the development of costs in the acute inpatient sector of hospitals.<\/p>\n

It should be kept in mind that the lump-sum payment system results in inaccuracies in the representation of certain services.
\nHospitals that provide a high proportion of services that are not correctly represented may eventually present costs per case that do not necessarily reflect higher or lower efficiency.
\nThis should be taken into account when comparing per-case costs net of severity among individual hospitals.<\/p>\n

A guide for rate setting partners<\/h3>\n

The publication serves as a guide for rate setting partners and can be used by the cantons in their hospital planning. It can also be used by physicians and patients as a basis for decision-making when choosing a hospital.<\/p>\n

In addition to the costs per case, since 2008 the FOPH has been publishing key figures for Swiss hospitals and quality indicators for Swiss acute care hospitals.
\nThe key figures provide an overview of the structure, patients, services, range of services, personnel, financial situation of the hospitals and the average severity of the diseases requiring acute hospitalization.
\nThe quality indicators contain data on care such as number of cases, rates (e.g. of caesarean sections), mortality for certain clinical pictures and interventions, lengths of stay and particular transfers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
