Expert consensus framework demonstrates a standardized sustainability monitoring model for health systems, highlighting paths to track emissions and prevent greenwashing.

Key Points

To develop a standardized, evidence-based measurement framework that guides indicators for monitoring, benchmarking, and advancing sustainability transformations across global health-care systems.
Convened an international, multidisciplinary working group spanning environmental engineering, industrial ecology, epidemiology, clinical medicine, health promotion, and public policy.
Synthesized concepts from existing performance and sustainability frameworks to encompass research, internal operational improvement, and external accountability.
Established a framework dividing health-care sustainability into two overarching domains: the physical domain (resource use, resilience, and environmental emissions) and the people, policies, and programmes domain.
Categorized both domains across five standardized operational levels: inputs, structures, processes, outputs, and outcomes or effects, including direct health impacts.
