“…Visoka pojavnost besed »nursing 17 « in »education 18 « potrjuje, da je levji delež raziskav zadevnega področja povezanih z zdravstveno nego in/ali izobraževanjem. Pomembno dejstvo predstavlja pogosta pojavnost besede »global 19 «, iz česar je moč sklepati na zavedanje o mednarodni, naddržavni oziroma svetovni razsežnosti problematike, kot tudi povečani pomembnosti globalne perspektive delavcev v zdravstvu pri opravljanju svojega dela (Butterfield et al, 2021); (Martin et al, 2022); (Pearson et al, 2015).…”

Prvo poglavje se osredotoča na pregled ključnih tehnoloških trendov na področju kadrovske funkcije pri delu na daljavo. Drugo poglavje obravnava težavne pogovore na delovnem mestu in ravnanje posameznikov, ko se z njimi soočijo. V tretjem poglavju so predstavljene kompetence za obvladovanje kompleksnih kriz. Četrto poglavje obravnava tehnologijo veriženja blokov na področju kadrovskega managementa. Peto poglavje prikazuje sistematični pregled zelenih kompetenc na področju zdravstva. Šesto poglavje nas popelje skozi zasnovo sistema ocenjevanja in nagrajevanja zaposlenih. Zadnje, sedmo poglavje, pa opozarja na pomen predporodnega izobraževanja in vpliv le tega na kvaliteto življenja po porodu in sam razvoj posameznika.

“…Hospitals have been shown to be a major contributor to climate change (Slanetz et al 2022 ), estimated to contribute approximately 7000 tonnes of waste per day through a combination of energy consumption and waste generation (Shum et al 2022 ). Radiology departments are a major component of this, particularly CT and MRI scanners (Martin et al 2022 ; Heye et al 2020 ).…”

Objective To review the international literature and assess the ways healthcare systems are mitigating and can mitigate their carbon footprint, which is currently estimated to be more than 4.4% of global emissions. Design Systematic review of empirical studies and grey literature to examine how healthcare services and institutions are limiting their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Data sources Eight databases and authoritative reports were searched from inception dates to November 2023. Eligibility criteria for selecting studies Teams of investigators screened relevant publications against the inclusion criteria (eg, in English; discussed impact of healthcare systems on climate change), applying four quality appraisal tools, and results are reported in accordance with PRISMA (preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses). Results Of 33 737 publications identified, 32 998 (97.8%) were excluded after title and abstract screening; 536 (72.5%) of the remaining publications were excluded after full text review. Two additional papers were identified, screened, and included through backward citation tracking. The 205 included studies applied empirical (n=88, 42.9%), review (n=60, 29.3%), narrative descriptive (n=53, 25.9%), and multiple (n=4, 2.0%) methods. More than half of the publications (51.5%) addressed the macro level of the healthcare system. Nine themes were identified using inductive analysis: changing clinical and surgical practices (n=107); enacting policies and governance (n=97); managing physical waste (n=83); changing organisational behaviour (n=76); actions of individuals and groups (eg, advocacy, community involvement; n=74); minimising travel and transportation (n=70); using tools for measuring GHG emissions (n=70); reducing emissions related to infrastructure (n=63); and decarbonising the supply chain (n=48). Conclusions Publications presented various strategies and tactics to reduce GHG emissions. These included changing clinical and surgical practices; using policies such as benchmarking and reporting at a facility level, and financial levers to reduce emissions from procurement; reducing physical waste; changing organisational culture through workforce training; supporting education on the benefits of decarbonisation; and involving patients in care planning. Numerous tools and frameworks were presented for measuring GHG emissions, but implementation and evaluation of the sustainability of initiatives were largely missing. At the macro level, decarbonisation approaches focused on energy grid emissions, infrastructure efficiency, and reducing supply chain emissions, including those from agriculture and supply of food products. Decarbonisation mechanisms at the micro and meso system levels ranged from reducing low value care, to choosing lower GHG options (eg, anaesthetic gases, rescue inhalers), to reducing travel. Based on these strategies and tactics, this study provides a framework to support the decarbonisation of healthcare systems. Systematic review registration PROSPERO: CRD42022383719.
