Opportunities for hospital sustainability
Hospitals have a great magnitude of activities involving public use, staffing and at-risk individuals that must be considered as part of the operation of the facility — basically, a miniature city. Activities include eating, sleeping, office work, laundry, management and maintenance, and that doesn’t account for the higher health care practices of the facility, such as surgeries, imaging, patient care and infection prevention.
