BOHEALTH aims to reduce the environmental impact associated with the health sector (e.g., hospitals) by facilitating the decision-making process of the management. To show the activities and results of the project, the consortium has created a video. We hope you will enjoy it!
The objectives of the project are:
- The real environmental and economic impact of the different environmental aspects associated with the organisation, considering their entire life cycle (highlighting hidden or external costs).
- Identifying the «key performance indicators» (KPIs) and «functional units» which best fit with Health sector characteristics, in order to monitor and control these aspects.
- Identifying the Best Available Techniques (BATs) that can be applied to reduce these aspects, including technical, environmental, and economic assessments.
- Supporting, with quantitative figures, the definition of «Sustainable Action Plans» to be applied to each centre, taking into account the previous information.
- Allowing a clear and quantitative comparison between the initial and improved situation (i.e., after action plan implementation), from an economic and environmental viewpoint.
