Zurich/Lucerne – The Association of Zurich Hospitals (VZK), which employs around 40,800 staff at 35 institutions and treats 243,000 inpatients every year, and Swiss GRC, a renowned provider of software solutions in the areas of governance, risk and compliance (GRC), will be working together in future to strengthen GRC in Zurich hospitals. The University Hospital Zurich (USZ) is taking the first step in the collaboration.
The goal of the partnership is to integrate GRC solutions in a practical and efficient way in Zurich hospitals to meet the complex requirements of the healthcare sector. The challenges are many: regulatory requirements, protection of sensitive patient data, proactive risk management and resource-saving operational management. A solid GRC strategy helps hospitals ensure compliance, optimize the quality of patient care, and provide transparency and security. Thanks to Swiss GRC’s many years of experience, Zurich’s hospitals have access to the tools and resources they need to meet these increasing demands and strengthen the resilience of the healthcare system in the long term.
André Baumgart, Head of Digitalisation, Quality Management, IT and Patient Safety at VZK, emphasises the importance of the cooperation: “With Swiss GRC as a partner, we can meet the high requirements for governance, risk management and compliance in our hospitals even better.”
Besfort Kuqi, CEO of Swiss GRC, adds: “We are proud to be working with the VZK to further develop the standards for GRC in Zurich hospitals. With our expertise, we support hospitals in creating sustainable and future-proof GRC structures that meet the high demands of the healthcare sector.”
This strategic alliance sends out an impressive signal for the future of healthcare in the Canton of Zurich and far beyond. It lays the foundation for safe, compliant and efficient operational management in the region, allowing the hospitals to concentrate on their essential task – the care of patients.
