Data analysis and personalized reports

Data collection is essential to effective sustainability programs, but it’s only useful if that 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

“The award application is always a lot of work, and this is my seventh year completing an application for my organization and I have to say I enjoy it. I love analyzing the data and seeing where our choices are making a difference over the years as well as where we still need to focus. I feel this application is a pinnacle to our effort to be better stewards of our resources." 
– Aaron Wilson, Program Coordinator & Emergency Preparedness at Providence St. Joseph Memorial Center

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 performance summary offers an overview of how a facility’s performance in several metrics across the application 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.
