Performance measurement

Body

Sustainability leaders must make difficult choices to prioritize the work that matters most to the organization while balancing resource allocation.

The sustainability performance data provided by Practice Greenhealth’s benchmark report cards provide a solid foundation for sustainability goal development. Each hospital’s report card provides an annual snapshot of facility performance on 30 different metrics along with a percentile comparison to other partner hospitals. The report cards include the 90th percentile performance point, highlighting what is achievable for committed hospitals in each programmatic area.

“Thanks to the data analyzed through the awards platform at Practice Greenhealth, we're in a healthier position to categorically mitigate the various wastes associated with health care operations while improving patient and community health. For example, we came to understand the hospital's water usage, while better than the median, is now a focal point of reduction." 
– Ali Wolf, Asprius project manager

Practice Greenhealth’s Environmental Excellence Awards provide a platform for identifying which programs are in place and capturing the stories that illustrate health care’s sustainability successes and shortfalls.

Benchmark report cards and system trend reports are provided annually to partners using the awards data platform. These performance reports are just two benefits of submitting data to Practice Greenhealth.
