Assessing Environmental Sustainability in Acute Care Hospitals: A Survey-Based Snapshot from an Italian Regional Health System
The findings of this study reveal a notable misalignment between the sustainability debate, maturity promoted in the academic literature and the actual practices implemented in the Italian regional context. This mismatch highlights the importance of developing more uniform evaluation tools, policy requirements, and strengthening the organizational capabilities, to improve environmental performance in Italian hospital facilities.
