Transforming Government since 2001

Details
The Steering Committee eGovernment Switzerland has identified strategic areas intended to give fresh impetus to eGovernment at a meeting on 7 March 2011 in Bern. It calls on all levels of government to further strengthen management, to focus on selected projects and to achieve a better collaboration. These strategic areas will constitute the basis for the renewal of the 'Framework Agreement on eGovernment Cooperation in Switzerland'.

The Confederation and the cantons concluded the framework agreement in 2007, which will remain in force until the end of 2011. To ensure the continuance and implementation of the Swiss eGovernment strategy, the steering committee at a meeting on 4 November 2010 commissioned the eGovernment Switzerland Programme Office to prepare the renewal of the framework agreement with the support of key Swiss eGovernment stakeholders. What the steering committee seeks to accomplish is to accelerate the deployment of eGovernment and to strengthen the Confederation's leading role, without relieving the cantons of their responsibility regarding its implementation.

On 3 December 2010, the Swiss Federal Council entrusted the Federal Department of the Interior with a mandate to elaborate by September 2011 the legal bases for the introduction of electronic patient files. Among other aims, this measure will seek to improve the quality of medical care while enhancing patient safety.

The Swiss Federal Council officially adopted the Swiss eHealth Strategy on 27 June 2007. Since then, the strategy has been implemented collaboratively with the 26 Swiss cantons, the member states of the Federal State. The use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is expected to allow health professionals to access the pertinent health data of their patients, regardless of place and time. Access to such data will require the patients' consent.
