Spitex Benchmarking Platform

The Spitex Benchmarking Platform creates the data basis required for needs-based care, supports operational management with intuitive key figures, and strengthens the negotiating posi-tion of the organizations vis-à-vis social insurance companies and residual financing partners through improved cost transparency. The analyses provide valuable information on process improvements and contribute to a more objective discussion on financing.

The benchmarking platform was developed within the framework of an Innosuisse project by Polynomics in collaboration with the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences, Heyde AG, and practical partners, and has been available since summer 2023. In 2024, over 50 Spitex organi-sations from 11 cantons will participate in the Spitex Benchmark.

Participating organizations provide their harmonized data for cross-company, anonymized comparisons. Clear contracts between participating organizations and Polynomics define the scope of the data used and permissible evaluations. Access to the analyses is granted via the protected Polynomics web portal.

Participants receive several evaluations per year with reported values for their own organisation. The comparison of key figures is published on the Spitex benchmark web application for the first time each spring and is subsequently updated on an ongoing basis. In addition to the comparison with all other organisations, group-specific comparisons enable a more precise as-sessment of your own key figures. Mutual data sharing is also possible, allowing organisations to recognise and directly compare themselves with each other. For organisations that do not explicitly allow this data sharing, anonymity is maintained at all times.

If data from the previous year is available from all organisations, we carry out a comprehensive statistical analysis. In addition to these two standard analyses, a detailed analysis of a specific topic is carried out each year in order to take a closer look at a specific issue. In 2023, this was an in-depth analysis of the cost differences between somatic and psychiatric care.

The platform is aimed at all Spitex organizations, irrespective of their size, sponsorship, or legal form, as well as independent care professionals.

We will introduce our new web application in a webinar on 29 May 2024 at 13:30. Registrations are welcome via and we are available for any questions.
