Abstract
Inspired by the Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care, an early version of the Swiss Atlas of Health Care (SAHC) was released in 2017. The SAHC provides an intuitive visualization of regional variations of medical care delivery and thus allows for a broad diffusion of the contents. That is why the SAHC became widely accepted amongst health care stakeholders. In 2021, the relaunch of the SAHC was initiated to update as well as significantly expand the scope of measures depicted on the platform, also integrating indicators for outpatient care in order to better reflect the linkages between inpatient and outpatient health care provision. In the course of this relaunch, the statistical and technical aspects of the SAHC have been reviewed and updated. This paper presents the key aspects of the relaunch project and provides helpful insights for similar endeavors elsewhere.
