OPAN® for Spitex organizations

Currently, 521 organizations are participating in OPAN®

Electronic interconnection between the various partners in health care is becoming increasingly important. The information channels are faster, safer and clearer. Privacy and data security as well as efficiency and time savings are key success factors in the environment of steadily increasing cost pressure.

OPAN® can transmit applications from all organizations that refer patients (hospitals, medical practices, private persons) standardized to the Spitex organization safely, simply and fast.

The OPAN® system can also be used for the simple transfer of documents to the Spitex organization, similar to a protected e-mail notification.

Course of an application

The referring doctor enters the application data on https://www.opanspitex.ch and submits the application. When the application has arrived at your end in the protected back-end area, you will be notified by mail that you have a new application and can log into your password-protected area in order to process the application further. With your change of status, the referring doctor will be automatically informed about the arrival of the application in the Spitex organization. He now knows that you will be taking care of matters going forward. You will arrange definitive planning with the customer directly, unless something else is desired.

Interfaces and networking

Once data that has been entered electronically, it should also be able to be processed electronically. For that reason, OPAN® has various interfaces to the Spitex software. See at the side. Interfaces simplify considerably the administrative acceptance after the arrival of the application in the Spitex organization. It increases the quality of the data and saves time and thereby expense. OPAN SPITEX AG makes use of the interface available free-of-charge. Please inquire with your software provider whether costs for its use will be incurred on their side. Immediately after the launch of OPAN®, you will receive the necessary particulars from us in order to use the interface productively.

What our customers say about us

OPAN SPITEX - A trend-setting, digital networking solution

OPAN-Spitex has constantly helped me do my job for many years now. People in the industry recognized early on that networking in healthcare had to be digital not just in the future, but today. OPAN's referrer solution is pragmatic, has been perfected over the years, and is easy to use every day. Administrative processes are simplified, errors are reduced by eliminating multiple entries, and the whole process has become more efficient. Everyone benefits from this, ranging from referrers, such as hospitals or medical practices, to patients and Spitex!

Markus Reck, CEO, Spitex Zürich Sihl
Simple definition of services area

OPAN enables us to precisely define the service areas around our locations. This helps us to show the referring institutions in which regions they can count on us as a Spitex partner. The locations can be set up and adjusted very easily in OPAN.

René Stoll, CEO, Qualis Vita
Choose OPAN and say goodbye to having to answer time-consuming inquiries

With OPAN, clients can register with Spitex at any time around the clock, whether directly from the hospital, at the general practitioner's office, or directly through relatives. The most important patient documents can also be sent electronically and securely at the time of registration. This means that the relevant information that is needed to process the registration is available promptly, and there is no need for time-consuming inquiries or obtaining information.

Marianne Pfister, CEO, Spitex Switzerland
OPAN is an important everyday tool

It is not for nothing that OPAN has established itself as the online platform for patient registration. It has achieved this top spot because it is technically clean and very easy to use in everyday life. Thanks to expansion to "advice and support," interdisciplinary cooperation beyond organizational boundaries is made even easier. OPAN is a very useful and important tool for everyday use.

OPAN^® works

OPAN as an online patient registration tool has become indispensable for hospitals and Spitex organizations. Efficient, well-structured, with additional services, renders OPAN very popular with all stakeholders. Hopefully in the future even more hospitals will interface OPAN to their own primary system and thus enable more resource-efficient use.

Marcel Durst, Managing Director, Association Spitex privée Suisse ASPS
Simple, efficient, and trustworthy

Since we joined OPAN®, we get the information standartized, clear and complete. If more specific information is necessary, we can reach the competent caregiver quickly with the given contact data. It gives us time and the assignments can be planned quickly.

Eliane Weber, Service de Maintien à Domicile du districtde la Neuveville
No long searching for telephone numbers and addresses anymore

OPAN® simplifies the registration process of patients significantly: Long searching for phone numbers and addresses are history. Registration at the public SPITEX can be made for 24 hours. Our departments can decide when they want to take care of the patient registrations, bringing them more flexibility. For complex exits the function "telephone consultation by SPITEX" has proven to work excellently.

Verena Prebil, Lindenhof Bern, Managing internal medicine care
Writing effort significantly lower thanks to electronically available data

Thanks to OPAN® I have the opportunity to unhurriedly read personal details and important information of the customer about the reported need for care. Before the first telephone contact with the care I can get a first impression and then - if necessary - ask better questions. OPAN® provides us all the information electronically, which significantly reduces the amount of writing. The temporal mobility at registrations is a great asset for referrers.

Transit team, Spitex Köniz
Available at all times

Thanks to the online patient registration system OPAN®, we are always available. To have customer data and the necessary information available at an early stage is a big time saver (no long phone calls necessary). Technical support is ensured at all times and the operation of the protected area is clear and simple. The archived data and registrations can always be accessed. All of our experiences with OPAN® are entirely to our satisfaction.
