Healthcare organizations have a responsibility to address environmental and social crises because of the potential impact they may have on community health.

 

Environmental, Social, and Governance: A Framework for the Future of Healthcare explores the triumphs and lessons learned by healthcare organizations striving to improve the well-being of their communities. This collection of adapted and expanded articles from the journal Frontiers of Health Services Management explains the benefits of and approaches to applying environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles to healthcare organization management.

 

The book is divided into three sections that correspond to the three prongs of the ESG framework. Each chapter provides real-world examples to help clarify strategies and includes questions for reflection and discussion.

 

Topics include the following:

 

Integrating ESG into operationsDeveloping climate-smart initiatives for healthcare organizationsCreating and maintaining board diversity

 

At the end of the book, three case studies illustrate how healthcare organizations are successfully addressing the challenges posed by each of the three components of the ESG framework.
