Sustainable and resilient healthcare
Our joint hub is interested in addressing for example the following issues related to sustainability of healthcare:
- Ecological: Developing measures for the environmental impacts of healthcare, such as GHG emissions and biodiversity loss, to promote health system change.
- Social: Building tools for measuring health outcomes for both the general population and targeted groups.
- Cultural: Enhancing sustainability leadership and management competencies for health systems.
- Economic: Creating measures for change and incentives for implementing innovative solutions in healthcare.
Systemic thinking for effective services
- Effective and cost-effective care, services, and policies that enhance service integration.
- System-sensitive transformations for efficiency: implementation, monitoring and management.
Zero emissions solutions and nature positive healthcare
- Achieve circularity by using life-cycle approaches in healthcare processes and infrastructure.
- Transition to healthcare practices that minimize negative impacts on biodiversity and instead, promote nature-positive outcomes.
- Building resilient healthcare systems with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.
Population health through ecological, cultural, and social lenses for healthcare
- Health and well-being among vulnerable groups.
- Promoting literacy, education and awareness around health and sustainability.
- Developing comprehensive measurement and evaluation frameworks that combine prevention, cure, and care with subjective well-being and sustainability metrics.
Responsible and efficient application of novel information and computing technology
- Utilizing data-driven approaches for continuous assessment of new and existing technologies and practices in social and health services.
- Applying real-world observational and experimental designs, machine learning techniques, spatial data methods, and qualitative inquiries to enhance research and practice.
Leadership and change management models for healthcare with societal perspective
- Strengthening resilience, social justice, and mitigation in healthcare systems.
- Management of environmental impacts with legal and ethical considerations.
