First aid: Only one in every two people feels confident enough to help in an emergency
What should you do if someone suffers a medical emergency? A recent study commissioned by the Swiss Red Cross and Helsana is raising eyebrows: Half of the population lack confidence in emergency situations when they need to provide first aid. They simply don't know what to do or fear their knowledge is outdated.
Helsana report shows that cantonal planning and the actual provision of care do not mesh
The new “Region Report” produced by Helsana shows the flow of patients in Switzerland. Pa-tients are not bound by cantonal borders. Instead, they primarily seek out medical care region-ally. For this reason, care regions are a more realistic way to meet patient needs and better explain people’s behaviour than cantonal structures. On the whole, cantonal planning ap-proaches are being called into question because of the complexity involved in providing care. The report identifies the potential for intercantonal coordination of outpatient and inpatient care.
