Trifork and Swiss Post forge partnership to advance digital transformation of healthcare infrastructure in Switzerland

Trifork has partnered with Swiss Post to develop a new cloud-based platform for a nation-wide electronic patient record (EPR). This collaboration marks another step in digitizing Switzerland’s healthcare system, enhancing efficiency, security, and innovation. Swiss Post operates the solution in Switzerland.  

Swiss Post plays an important role as service provider in the digitization of Swiss healthcare, ensuring the secure handling of sensitive data through its electronic patient record services. Certified under the Federal Act on the Electronic Patient Record, Swiss Post’s platform already meets stringent legal standards and serves 90% of Switzerland’s existing patient records. The new platform will replace the existing system, enabling faster implementation of advanced features like e-prescriptions or vaccination management.  

The new platform will leverage modern standards such as HL7 FHIR to empower patients and healthcare professionals with easy access to data and foster seamless digital communication. By supporting the integration of new functionalities, it will strengthen coordination across the healthcare system, improving care delivery for all stakeholders.  
   
Drawing inspiration from Danish healthcare  
   
In a close co-creation setup, Trifork and Swiss Post will build a highly scalable infrastructure based on the Trifork Health Platform standard software and with high reuse of Trifork’s knowledge and experience from being an integral part in building a similar infrastructure in Denmark.   

The project aims to make a step to improve integration and transparency in Swiss healthcare. Swiss Post will operate the platform locally, prioritizing secure technology to protect sensitive personal data.  

“We are proud to bring our experience from Denmark’s digital healthcare solutions to Switzerland. Together with Swiss Post, we aim to create an infrastructure that fosters better, more cohesive healthcare for patients and providers alike.”
