Both proud and maybe still a bit surprised by the publication of our recent analysis published in The BMJ, which explores the integration of environmental sustainability into healthcare quality frameworks. 🔔 This publication may signal that environmental considerations are becoming a part of routine discussions among clinicians and public health professionals. ❓ Could this be an indicator that we are moving toward large-scale health policies that consciously include environmental impacts in their decision-making processes? Thanks Michael Padget for the strong leadership on this! Guilhem M.

I’m happy to share this recent article in the BMJ. Environmental sustainability in the health system has attracted recent national and international attention but real progress has been uneven. We argue that making environmental sustainability a component of health system quality, and incorporating it into health system quality frameworks, will support environmental progress by: ➡ Recognizing this topic as a health system priority on par with other goals rather than simply a “nice to have” ➡ Embedding environmental sustainability into work from existing groups that ensure quality such as healthcare inspectorates, funders, medical associations, and patient organizations ➡ Providing a multi-priority perspective useful in decision making around sustainability interventions An example of how this integration could work in practice is provided using the high quality health system framework. https://lnkd.in/eukU5ef9 Matthias Brunn, Margaret Kruk, Dionne Sofia Kringos - Pereira Martins,
