Network Group — Hematologists
As technical experts and managers of the hemophilia centers, the SHN hematologists are mainly responsible for the following tasks:
- Diagnosis and laboratory tests
- Primary medical care in case of acute blood coagulation problems
- Initiation of medical care far beyond the core tasks of the hemophilia centre
- Creation of working structures to enable the inter-professional teams of your aemophilia center to work in the best possible way
- Contact with other professionals in order to provide the best possible and comprehensive health care, as well as support for the health care of patients
- Continuous further training in the field of hemostaseology
From diagnostics to therapy — the SHN hematologists provide patient-centered, individual advice based on the highest level of expertise and always independently. The medical support of coagulation patients is often necessary on a regular basis and throughout their lives. The SHN hematologists therefore attach great importance to creating a relationship based on trust. They also attach great importance to a high level of personal continuity in their medical-therapeutic teams.
The SHN network arose from the haematologists’ need for an internal, inter-professional exchange of information.
They show the highest level of commitment at different levels:
- On an intra-professional level, SHN haematologists shape and are aware of the latest medical developments and define treatment standards for Switzerland by consensus.
- On an inter-professional level they support the professional development of their medical-therapeutic professional groups, are contact persons for internal workflows, prescribe services to be provided and ensure their quality.
- At the patient level, the aim is to provide the best possible and most comprehensive health care. Continuous availability (emergency service), consultation hours and annual check-ups are the routine services that enable regular assessment of health care.
- In terms of professional policy, hematologists are committed to providing high-performance, comprehensive and fair health care for people with bleeding tendencies. To this end, they are in dialogue with the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH), the communities, health insurance companies and patient organizations.
- At the research level, SHN hematologists participate in highly qualified scientific medical developments. Basic research and clinical research content is geared to the latest medical developments and to high ethical standards.
