Hirslanden supplies IT platform for Corona tests
The canton of Schwyz and the canton of Zurich rely on an IT platform from the Hirslanden private hospital group for their expanded Corona testing strategy. The repetitive tests are handled via the platform. The mass tests are voluntary for the companies and their employees.
Because more than half of all Covid 19 transmissions occur through people without symptoms, the federal government has adopted an expanded testing strategy. If possible, people should be able to test themselves repeatedly. In addition to hygiene and distance regulations as well as vaccination, regular testing should open up another possibility to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
Canton Schwyz and Canton Zurich rely on Hirslanden IT platform
The cantonal councils of Zurich and Schwyz decided on their expanded testing strategy and commissioned the Hirslanden Private Hospital Group with its IT platform "Together We test". Hirslanden handles all repetitive testing processes via the platform and arranges the delivery of goods and services to the partner companies involved, such as laboratory institutes, logistics or material service providers.
How the Hirslanden writesBefore the approval of the Schwyz government council, where the platform was first used, there was a two-week test phase in which the procedural, organizational and logistical aspects were tested.
