Digisanté, E-GD and the Reality of Digitalization in the Swiss Healthcare System

▤ Summary

This article argues that Swiss healthcare digitalization still falls short because organizations continue to exchange PDFs, paper-based data, and fragmented information instead of structured end-to-end workflows. It criticizes top-down national approaches and says prior efforts like the EPD have not solved the underlying process problems. The piece presents Digisanté, E-GD, and SwissHDS as the right direction for building the legal and infrastructural foundation for structured data exchange. It also warns that progress will remain slow unless healthcare actors start using existing tools to implement genuine digital workflows now.
