A study<\/a> showed U.S. healthcare greenhouse gas emissions rose 6% from 2010 to 2018, reaching 1,692 kg per capita in 2018\u2014the highest rate among industrialized nations. Today, U.S. healthcare systems are responsible for 8.5%<\/a> of greenhouse gas emissions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Joint Commission: A framework for environmental sustainability efforts<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Effective January 1, 2024, healthcare organizations can voluntarily join the\u00a0Sustainable Healthcare Certification Program<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This program established by the independent, not-for-profit organization\u00a0Joint Commission<\/a>, provides a framework for sustainability practices towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and grants public recognition for these initiatives. It will also help the industry create baselines to measure three\u00a0sources of GHG emissions<\/strong> and develop an action plan to reduce them.<\/p>\n

Major healthcare leaders have already pledged their commitment in 2024. Partnering with an experienced energy efficiency firm like SitelogIQ (SIQ) will ensure the delivery of measurable, ongoing environmental impact with facility and funding solutions. And with\u00a0mySiteIQ<\/a>, your healthcare system can create a roadmap to reduce carbon emissions by monitoring and tracking emission sources.<\/p>\n
