Resumen
Descripción
Today, health care facilities are
confronted with a number of significant envi-ronmental and
social challenges. None of the challenges is insurmountable,
but if not effectively assessed and managed, they will hurt
the quality of your patient care, profitability, reputation,
and prospects for future sustainability. Among these
challenges are the increasing cost of energy and water, the
grow¬ing power and influence of regulatory agencies, and
rapidly evolving commu¬nity awareness and concerns about
environmental and social issues. These risks are in addition
to the primary risk of failing to provide high-quality
health care or build patient confidence. All of these risks
ultimately have financial consequences and are driving
forces that should motivate you to implement a management
system for your health care facility. A management system
will enable you to consistently foresee and address issues
confronting your facility so you can prevent potential risks
from becoming actual problems. Implementing an environmental
and social management system (ESMS) can have direct
financial benefits. Conserving and using energy and water
more efficiently helps to reduce operational costs.
