Swiss Hospital Project Management Maturity
Healthcare is one of the largest industries worldwide.
Switzerland as a whole counts 281 hospitals (BFS, 2017) comprised of both public and private sectors.
New challenges lead to an ever-higher number of initiatives needing to be implemented, which demand a high proficiency in project management.
To make a contribution to the healthcare sector becoming more efficient and competitive, we developed a survey based on various maturity assessment methods and on project management standards such as Hermes, PRINCE2, AgilePM, PMBoK, and the International Competence Baseline (by IPMA).
The report titled ‘Swiss Hospital Project Management Maturity’ is the final output of the Survey. It focuses on the hospital sector comprised of publicly state-owned infrastructures as well as privately held infrastructures within the French, Italian and German-speaking regions of Switzerland only.
Key Players
We collected 102 complete results from 46 hospitals with at least one hospital participating from 20 cantons; the exceptions being Appenzell Inner- and Ausserrhoden, Schaffhausen, Glarus, Zug & Schwyz.
240 hospitals of the officially 281 hospitals were invited to participate. The remaining 41 hospitals were too small, such as all birth-clinics and some specialised surgical, rehabilitation and psychiatric clinics.
