Measuring the environmental impact of health interventions to promote a sustainable future
The healthcare sector has an important role in environmental sustainability. At YHEC, we believe understanding the environmental impact of healthcare interventions is more than a regulatory requirement. It’s a fundamental step toward building a more resilient and sustainable healthcare system for everyone.
We deliver robust analyses that empower our clients, healthcare systems, public sector bodies and policymakers to make environmentally informed decisions. Furthermore, our commitment to sustainability goes beyond individual client projects. We are dedicated to working with healthcare systems and policymakers to embed environmental considerations into the framework of health technology assessment (HTA).
How can YHEC’s expertise in environmental research help you?
Our environmental impact services support a diverse range of decisions for industry, health systems and the public sector, including:
- Highlighting added value: We help innovators and organisations demonstrate the value of their interventions by assessing environmental impact. Specifically, we can provide robust evidence to support decisions on investment, market access, and broader adoption through comprehensive life-cycle assessments and carbon footprint analysis.
- Guiding data collection: Offering expert recommendations and guidance on how to effectively capture comprehensive and relevant data on environmental outcomes for your products, services or pathways. This is especially useful for health systems looking to measure their environmental footprint.
- Informing policy and investment decisions: We equip decision-makers with crucial evidence on environmental outcomes, encouraging them to consider sustainability as a key societal outcome alongside health and cost effectiveness. Ultimately, this broader perspective is essential for creating lasting and sustainable policy.
