Integrating Environmental Sustainability into clinical laboratories playbook

Intergrating Environmental Sustainability Into Clinical Laboratories

Clinical laboratories operate around the clock, aiding health care providers in diagnosing, treating, and managing patient care. Improving environmental sustainability can result in cost savings, improved patient care, enhanced staff engagement, and increased resilience to climate change. The playbook outlines recommendations in the areas of appropriate testing, resource use, procurement practices and enhancing a culture of environmental sustainability. It is available in English and French.

This playbook is created by CASCADES (Creating a Sustainable Canadian Health System in a Cliamate Crisis) and includes tools for changing including SusQI.
