The healthcare and homecare sector is undergoing an organisational revolution.
Healthcare professionals are inclined to leave the private sector for the public sector.
A quest for meaning? A desire to be (re)aligned with their founding values?
The public homecare and assistance system is undergoing a transformation, as healthcare needs increase with the ageing of the population.
Public home care has a long tradition in French-speaking Switzerland, and in its 2019 study, the SFSO indicated that the main people concerned were those aged 65 and over.
Even though we already know that this trend will only increase given the availability of qualified care professionals, the home care and assistance sector is under strain.
It is now necessary to respond to economic imperatives in terms of profitability, and this displeases beneficiaries and their families, who want greater individualisation of their care.
What’s more, the variation in the number of nurses or care assistants working with the elderly, as well as growing dissatisfaction with a timed care model, is leading to a growing lack of recognition.
Smaller, more flexible organisations are essential if we are to respect patients and their families, but also if we are to create a civic alternative in which “the human element” regains its rightful place.
Close to home with Soins Volants
Based on the Dutch Buurtzorg model, Soins Volants is a company commissioned by the cantons of Valais and Vaud to provide care services in neighbourhoods, where and when they are needed.
Its approach is based on a non-hierarchical organisation, so that each carer can rediscover the pleasure of working, and so that their satisfaction is reflected in the quality of their personalised care on a human scale.
Les Soins Volants was co-founded in 2018 by Pakize Palan and two of her former managerial colleagues from the CMS (social medical centres in the canton of Vaud).
The teams of healthcare professionals are autonomous, mobile and do not exceed the number of 10 to 12 employees. They manage their own schedules and working methods.
Homecare services are reimbursed by health insurance.
