Excellence in sustainability

Recognising delivery of innovative and environmentally sustainable health care solutions

Excellence in sustainability

This award recognises a project/team that provides an environmentally sustainable solution for delivering health care.

2024 winner

Sustainability supply tracker – Fiona Stanley Fremantle Hospitals Group

Three people review data on a laptop computerAn initiative out of Fiona Stanley Fremantle Hospitals Group is helping to monitor and quantify the impacts of environmental sustainability initiatives implemented by clinicians to reduce wastefulness and promote low carbon healthcare.

Involving extensive collaboration between the Green Theatres Group, sustainability leads and the Fiona Stanley Hospital Performance Improvement Program team, the project monitored changes in the clinical use and habits of 35 items through a comprehensive dashboard dedicated to tracking environmental and cost impacts.

Through a process to effectively capture and analyse various data points, the team worked to create meaningful reports digestible for all parties.

The hospital’s monitoring dashboard estimated a cumulative $863,000 saving from these initiatives, with an 80 per cent, 45 per cent and 57 per cent reduction in the equivalent CO2 emissions with anaesthetic gases, oxygen saturation sensors, and blood pressure cuffs, respectively.

Collaboration with the Department of Health to scale the monitoring dashboard throughout WA Health shows its potential for sustainable and scalable impacts for the future.
