With the rise of telehealth services and hybrid environments, many institutions benefitted from studies and data that informed changes, which translated into emissions reductions. In this session, clinicians and experts will share results from a 2020 Cleveland Clinic employee survey and the impact commutes had on Scope 3 emissions. Also hear about policy decisions made from commuting data and incentives from Stanford Health Care’s focus groups and interviews, and learn about system-level environmental savings from virtual visits in their radiation oncology department.

Leaders from federal and private health systems will share strategies for achieving ambitious climate goals. From innovative decarbonization strategies to long-term electrification plans to emergency response preparedness and more, leading systems are paving the way for climate action.

In a rapidly growing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) landscape, health care organizations must continuously balance collecting relevant impact and performance data, responding to disclosure requests by third parties, and working to improve real-world performance across their organizations. How can health systems better ensure transparency and accountability on ESG performance indicators while maintaining an efficient level of overhead? 

Single-use devices (SUDs) may seem like an easier and safer option than reusables from an infection prevention perspective, especially when considering operational needs for staffing and space within health care facilities. But they come at an enormous environmental cost and with the potential for supply chain disruptions when they are quickly consumed and discarded, as was experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic.

While crucial to patient care, the surgical department for many health care facilities can be a huge source of energy consumption, waste generation, supply expenses, and greenhouse gas emissions. During this call, we’ll examine the most recent Practice Greenhealth benchmark data and highlight national trends. We’ll also share success stories from leading hospitals and lessons to bring back to your facility.
