Swiss Patient Access Program (SPAP)
The SSMO launched the Swiss Patient Access Program (SPAP) in 2023, as a follow-up project to the SPAP pilot. SPAP aims to:
- Avoid/reduce cases of hardship in processing Art. 71 a-d KVV applications
- Offer a solution for hardship cases with the involvement of medical experts
- Create evidence for the expert decision using a checklist for standardised assessment
- Estimate patient benefits based on routinely collected health data
- The findings of SPAP are to be incorporated into the OLU tool
