Explanation:
I think this is more of a cooperate organisation term than a medical one. I found "common services" as a translation of this term but this didn't really get many hits for this context in English. Shared services are, however, used in hospitals and medical organisations.

neutral  Daryo: although there are some parallels, I would be very cautious about extrapolating the logic of the US healthcare system to Switzerland. References directly about "Hôpitaux Universitaires de Genève (HUG)" would have been far more convincing.
