How do medical institutions integrate carbon inventory data from different units?
Completing a form, obtaining a statement, or calculating a result does not mean that the medical industry has completed an organizational carbon inventory. True management also includes data boundaries, risk classification, evidence quality, division of responsibilities and improvement tracking. A greenhouse gas inventory is not just about adding up electricity and fuel consumption, but also requires confirmation of organizational boundaries, operational controls, emission categories, activity data, emission factors and supporting documentation. In the past, when the medical industry handled organizational carbon inventories, each unit often collected information based on its own form and understanding.
