Co-Creation

Health2040: Action Plan for a Sustainable Outpatient Primary Care in Switzerland 

Building on insights from previous studies that explore the preferences of the population and healthcare personnel regarding the future of outpatient primary care, Health2040 launched a co-creation process in 2023. 

More than 50 stakeholders from healthcare, social sectors, and civil society developed an action plan with a shared vision for sustainable outpatient primary care in Switzerland. 


Using a structured co-creation methodology, two participatory workshops were held in 2024: the first workshop developed a care model, and the second focused on creating an action plan for implementing this model. Both workshops were based on a comprehensive literature review of innovative primary care models and insights from previous Health2040 studies to ensure a well-informed and evidence-based discussion. 


Health Network for All: Gesundheitsnetz für alle – pour tous – per tutti”

At the heart of the action plan is an inclusive, patient-centered care network that brings together the healthcare and social sectors along with civil society. This network, called Gesundheitsnetz für alle – pour tous – per tutti” (Health Network for All), is tailored to local and regional needs, is digitally supported, and aims to reach all population groups. 

Members of the network work together on an equal footing, actively involving patients in decision-making processes and enhancing their health literacy. They offer comprehensive treatment and support, with a strong focus on health promotion and prevention. 


The Action Plan

The jointly developed action plan identifies three central areas of action to realize the vision of the “Health Network für alle – pour tous – per tutti” by 2040:
