#Hospital Sustainability Spending on the Rise Fifty-four percent of global health care professionals say their hospitals currently incorporate sustainability into purchasing decisions

and 80 percent expect that to be the case in two years according to a Harris Poll commissioned by Johnson & johnson. The global findings are similar to those of US health care providers where 52 percent say their hospitals currently incorporate sustainability into purchasing

According to respondents their hospitals have plans in place for minimizing environmental impact when using or disposing of medical products.

Globally respondents report their hospitals prioritize sustainability purchasing as follows: About eight in 10 respondents say sustainable products help protect hospital staff

when choosing a hospital. Health care professionals also agree it makes good financial sense for hospitals to go green both in the US (79 percent) and globally (69 percent) and report a strong commitment to sustainability from top hospital management

at 67 percent in the US and 60 percent globally. In regard to purchasing US respondents report the most important sustainability considerations are followed energy efficient devices by recyclable packaging latex free devices products designed for multi-use devices free of heavy metals

About 15 years ago some hospitals began using barcode systems which Reynisson and Helgason actually helped install in some Dutch and German hospitals.

These systems also require nurses to use a handheld scanner to scan a patient s wristband

Hospitals have to make all these things work together and it s hard for small and medium hospitals to afford.

No one is selling turn-key barcode systems. That s where Medeye is truly unique Helgason says:

when a nurse at the Dutch hospital demonstrated the Medeye for department heads on a random patient.

But a 2010 demonstration at a Dutch hospital of an early prototype a bulkier version of the Medeye with off-the-shelf parts constructed at MIT changed their perception.

The hospital had to identify about 250 small white pills of different medications that in fact all looked the same.
