The Swiss cantons authorize doctors to order compulsory hospitalization for a maximal duration of four to six week. The examination of cantonal proceedings highlights new exceptions to medical confidentiality in respect of the protection authority. The Civil Code (Art. 442) specifies which cantonal laws do apply when the patient lives in another canton. In urgent cases, doctors may order a hospitalization according to their cantonal law or according to the cantonal law of the patient's residence. However, only Berne and Fribourg allow all doctors in Switzerland to hospitalize their residents. If possible the decision should be made according to the law of the canton, where the patient will be hospitalized.
瑞士各州授权医生下令进行强制住院治疗，最长为期四至六周。对各州程序的审查凸显了在保护机构方面医疗保密的新例外情况。《民法典》（第442条）规定了患者居住在另一个州时适用哪些州法律。在紧急情况下，医生可根据其所在州的法律或患者居住地的州法律下令住院治疗。然而，只有伯尔尼和弗里堡允许瑞士所有医生对其居民进行住院治疗。如有可能，应根据患者将接受住院治疗的州的法律做出决定。
