Sustainability

Hospitals and care systems that accomplish truly sustainable initiatives, sustainability is determined by physical and natural resources, environmental degradation, and social resources. Accordingly, sustainable policies place some emphasis on the future effect of any given policy or business practice on humans, the economy, and ecology. Their efforts contribute to a healthier environment, improve the organization’s public perception and can help their local communities. Environmental sustainability is also good business, as it helps lower operational costs and allows hospitals to direct more resources to patient care. These benefits can help hospitals meet the Triple Aim—improving population health, improving the patient experience and reducing per capital cost.
