Quality management

The Clinique Générale's quality approach is part of a strategy that aims to provide excellent services to its patients and doctors at all times.

We expect each employee to guarantee these principles and to become the first actor in the continuous improvement of quality in the establishment in which they work, but also at the level of the Swiss Medical Network group.

Guidelines

Our policy of continuous improvement of quality and safety of care is defined through several guidelines in order to offer a quality and personalized care to each patient.

1.

We offer personalised attention to the patient in a high quality and pleasant setting, aiming at well-being and actively participating in the recovery of health.

2.

We take into account the needs and choices of each patient. We make every effort to build a relationship of trust while respecting the rights and duties of each individual.

3.

We ensure that communication is targeted, carried out at the right time and with the right people.

4.

We accredit doctors recognised for their expertise and provide them with the latest generation of high-performance and innovative technical equipment.

5.

We promote the continuous training of our staff in order to maintain and develop their know-how to ensure increasingly safe and effective care.

6.

We focus our management on a risk prevention and continuous improvement approach in order to increase the quality and safety of our services and the satisfaction of our patients, doctors and staff.

7.

We are committed to avoiding waste, sorting our waste and controlling our energy consumption in order to protect the environment and reduce costs.

8.

We comply with regulatory, legal and normative requirements.

Quality indicators

Thanks to our membership of the National Quality Development Association (ANQ), we are implementing various indicators such as

  • patient satisfaction
  • repeat operations
  • re-hospitalisation
  • prevention of falls and pressure sores
  • nosocomial infections
  • the register of orthopaedic implants

«Environmental vigilance» referents have also been set up:

  • material vigilance (swissmedic)
  • haemovigilance (swissmedic)
  • pharmacovigilance (swissmedic)
  • hospital hygiene (according to the current French-speaking HPCI standards)

Certifications

ISO 9001:2015 – Swiss Safety Center (SSC)

Some of our clinics are certified according to this standard, which is widely used and comparable both nationally and internationally. It shows the requirements that have to be implemented with regard to customer needs as well as product and service quality. The standard is thus a proven instrument for increasing the transparency of operational processes and subsequently optimising the efficiency of corporate performance. The annual review by the certification body SSC also ensures continuous and sustainable improvement of the management system.

Our specialists

At Clinique Générale, employees are dedicated to the quality of our establishment, both towards patients and towards employees.

Care manager


The care manager is the reference person for patients hospitalised at the Clinique Générale. Trained as a nurse, our care manager assists patients throughout their stay. Their support begins before hospitalisation and continues during the stay with various visits. They ensure that patients' requests are met and coordinate the various parties involved throughout the hospital stay.

Care managers provide patients with a personalised follow-up adapted to their needs, as well as a reassuring point of reference throughout their stay and afterwards. They provide support, both mental and logistical, to the people in hospital to make their stay as pleasant as possible.

MSST Coordinator - Occupational Health and Safety Medicine


The role of the Occupational Health and Safety Coordinator is to support the management, line managers and employees in the execution of their tasks related to occupational safety and health protection.

Practicable modules are offered in the area of surveillance and prevention. The Swiss Medical Network institutions continuously monitor possible cases of infection or the long-term course of wound healing and report these to Swissnoso. Useful data for quality control is generated and evaluated from this.

CIRS - Critical Incident Reporting System

Our CIRS reporting platform is a reporting and learning system that allows the identification of risks or critical events. The system is an essential element of clinical risk management and allows the anonymised reporting of incidents that may occur during different procedures - e.g. during the administration of medication, communication, documentation, the exercise of standard processes or even the use of technical equipment. The goals of CIRS are the proactive handling of critical events, the further development of the hospital's internal safety culture and the increase of patient safety.

SIRIS - Swiss Implant Register

Based on the national quality contract between ANQ and the member hospitals, SIRIS (Swiss Implant Registry for Hip and Knee Prostheses) was introduced in 2012 and for spinal prostheses in 2021. Ziel dieser Erfassung ist die bestmögliche Versorgung der Patienten sowie die Beurteilung der langfristigen Implantat- und Behandlungsqualität. Die daraus gewonnenen Ergebnisse erlauben zudem einen Qualitätsvergleich mit anderen Spitälern.
