Sustainability has been recognised as a domain of quality in healthcare, and building it into quality improvement (QI) is a practical way to drive incremental change towards a more ethical, sustainable health system.
These learning resources have been developed by the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare. Based on the SusQI Framework, they are designed to help learners to:
- Set sustainable goals for a quality improvement project.
- Recognise the use of environmental and social resources in a current service, and identify opportunities to improve.
- Design a project using sustainability principles (prevention, empowerment, lean pathways, low carbon alternatives) to achieve the greatest benefit.
- Measure the impact of a project on sustainable value.
