Linking theory and practice to advance sustainable healthcare: the development of maturity model version 1.0.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Climate change and increased awareness of planetary health have made reducing ecological footprints a priority for healthcare organizations. However, improving healthcare's environmental impact remains difficult. Numerous researchers argue these difficulties are caused by healthcare's environmental impact being multidimensional, influenced throughout the healthcare chain, and often has downstream consequences that are hard to identify or to measure.

This research aims at developing a maturity model for sustainable healthcare that could be used for self-assessment by healthcare professionals t
