What is OPAN®?

An online service for the transfer of applications and documents to residential institutions and nursing homes.

The OPAN® online registration system for nursing homes has been developed to ensure as fast and as smooth a care transition from the hospital or home to the new facility as possible. The system stands out thanks to its ease of use, high availability, and advanced technological standards. It is developed in and used throughout Switzerland. These are further quality markers of OPAN®. All referring entities (family physicians, institutions, and private individuals) can freely access the system without the need for any prior registration..

If you would like to transmit information or documents concerning an existing resident to the respective nursing home, you can do so by performing a document transfer. This transmission procedure has been made as brief as possible. It is similar to sending a fax.

Course of an application

Once you complete the one-time registration with your HIN client, you will be assigned your own account where you can clearly see your completed applications and document transfers that were made via OPAN®. Therefore, you are always kept informed about the status of the respective application.

If you would like to subsequently submit information or documents concerning the affected patient, can simply add the application to your account.

Interfaces and networking

You can register one time free of charge with a single click using your HIN Client, and you will receive an overview of all your applications via OPAN®. The HIN client must be started in order to open an OPAN user account.

In addition, OPAN® offers a fully (API) or partly integrable interface (UPI) that can directly connect your own specialized software (PIS) with the OPAN® platform. By using the interface, the time needed to fill out an application can be significantly reduced.

Contact our Support to receive further information on the interfaces. Online instructions for the technical implementation can be found here: For software developers
