Quality

The Hirslanden Private Hospital Group practices quality management and collects a large amount of related data.

The comprehensive quality report, published annually since 2010, underscores the group's commitment to continuously improving the quality of medical services and patient safety, as well as its desire for transparency in this area.

In order to meet our own high standards in the long term, the Clinique des Grangettes cultivates comprehensive and systematic quality management.

We achieve our quality objectives in particular through ISO 9001:2015 certification of all processes.

 

Infection prevention and control

Preventing healthcare-associated infections is essential for everyone's safety and health.
That is why adhering to high hygiene standards is part of our strategic vision of quality.

Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Service

The Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Service is tasked with preventing and controlling infections, as well as limiting the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the hospital setting.

This prevention effort concerns patients, visitors, and staff.

Our actions are reflected in the implementation of standards for monitoring healthcare-associated infections.
That is why we have been using national monitoring tools for many years, such as Swissnoso (prevalence surveys and surgical site infection surveillance).

"Hand Hygiene" Campaign

Proper hand disinfection helps prevent a large number of infections.
By improving hand hygiene, 17,000 infections were prevented and 60 million Swiss francs were saved in a single year in Switzerland.

Throughout the year, the IPC service raises staff awareness of best practices and organizes an annual campaign to mark World Hand Hygiene Day.

"Flu" Campaign

In Switzerland, every year, between 1,000 and 5,000 people are hospitalized due to the flu.
Healthcare workers in hospital settings may transmit the illness to more vulnerable patients (such as the elderly, infants, people with chronic illnesses, and pregnant women), for whom the flu is not a mild disease.

How effective is vaccination?

According to the FOPH (Federal Office of Public Health), vaccination is the most effective way to avoid contracting the flu.
It reduces this risk by 70% to 90% in adults and protects not only the vaccinated person but also those around them.

We provide visitors with masks and hand sanitizer in common areas to help limit transmission.
