| In 2008/2009 a study was done to compare approximately 200 hospitals across the country using a range of quality indicators, such as waiting time in emergency rooms, and the types of cases handled. This data is freely available, and there is a Web app which can be used to run queries against the data, comparing one or more hospital/s to each other based on a selection of criteria. | Over the past five years studies were done to compare approximately 300 hospitals and maternity wards across the country using a range of quality indicators, such as waiting time in emergency rooms, and the types of cases handled. This data is freely available, and there is already an official [[http://www.bag.admin.ch/hospital/index.html|Web application]] which can be used to run queries against the data, comparing one or more hospital/s to each other based on a selection of criteria. |
| |
| In this project, we are developing a mobile app which presents a user-friendly view into this data, and has the potential of visualizing the information in innovative ways. | In this hackathon project, we started developing a mobile app which presents a more basic view into this data, with the potential of visualizing the information in innovative ways. Also see [[project:health_data_visualization|Heath Data Visualization]] for web-based maps of the same data. |
| |
| | In late 2012, the project was continued as part of an internship at [[http://appswithlove.com|Apps with love GmbH]]. The results of this further development have been summarized and presented to the [[http://www.bag.admin.ch/|Swiss Department of Health]] in [[https://www.dropbox.com/s/jxpveyky61qvkm6/HospitalCheckconcept.pdf?dl=0|a short paper]]. |

| | A prototype binary of the app can be provided on request and installed on an Android device - you must enable developer mode/non-App Store software in Settings first. |
| | |
| | The data is available under Creative Commons license in the [[http://opendata.admin.ch/de/organization/bundesamt-fur-gesundheit-bag|Open Government Data pilot portal]], updated with 2011 statistics. If we get enough interest in the app, we will be happy to update it. Please contact the developers directly. |
