Data analysis and personalized reports

Body

Data collection is essential to effective sustainability programs, but it’s only useful if the data is used and acted upon. By aggregating data from hospitals across our network, Practice Greenhealth provides valuable insights into the state of sustainability work across the sector.

We know your data is precious, and we are committed to protecting it. Please see our data policy to learn more

“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

Personalized reports

By participating in Practice Greenhealth’s Environmental Excellence Awards, partners receive personalized reports that show how their sustainability data compares to other applicants. These reports are valuable tools for advancing their sustainability programs.

  • The report card offers an overview of how a facility’s performance in 26 metrics across 10 topic areas compares to all applicant data for that year. It also shows the percentage of applicants who submitted data for these metrics.
  • A trend report shows the facility’s progress on those sustainability metrics year over year, with the context of the current year’s median and 90th percentile performers overlaid.
