Private hospital network running integrated care across Switzerland
Swiss Medical Network operates 21 hospitals and clinics across 16 Swiss cantons, treating 1.2M+ patients annually. The tech stack reveals a healthcare organization mid-transformation: FHIR and HL7 standards sit alongside clinical imaging tools (PACS, DICOM, RayStation, CyberKnife), while Python, Node.js, and React power backend services and custom applications. Active projects around AI POCs and CI/CD pipeline management, combined with hiring concentrated in healthcare roles and product teams, signal a shift toward digital infrastructure and data-driven operations—though pain points in HR digitalization and strategic IT alignment suggest integration complexity across a multi-unit group.
Swiss Medical Network is one of Switzerland's two leading private hospital groups, with a footprint spanning 21 hospitals and clinics, 70+ outpatient centres, and 5,000 employees across 16 cantons. The network treats over 1.2 million patients annually and operates both listed and contracted facilities covering the full medical spectrum—from orthopedics and oncology to cardiology and neurosurgery. The group pioneered VIVA, an integrated care model now deployed across the Jura Arc region and expanding into Ticino and southern Switzerland. Organizational structure reflects both clinical depth and enterprise operations: healthcare roles dominate active hiring, balanced by product, engineering, and HR teams managing group-wide transformation initiatives.
FHIR/HL7 for healthcare data, PACS/DICOM for clinical imaging, Python/Node.js/Java for backend, React/Angular/Vue for frontend, GCP/BigQuery for analytics, Looker for BI, ServiceNow for IT service management, and clinical tools like RayStation and CyberKnife.
AI POC development, AI model integration, system integration and timekeeping tools, CI/CD pipeline management, continuous optimization of financial and clinical systems (Polypoint PEP), and group-wide digital transformation initiatives.
