Since 2022, TAHSN has mobilized a sustainable OR scorecard, identifying and refining indicators in accordance with areas of opportunity and need.
- The 2024 scorecard identifies 10 high-impact and achievable sustainability strategies that can be implemented within ORs, agreed upon by the Sustainable OR Working Group, with representation from each of the 11 TAHSN hospitals with ORs.
- Each year, ORs score themselves and results are shared with the OR teams, the Leadership Table, and the TAHSN CEO Committee.
- The working group also meets regularly to discuss how to make progress on items in the scorecard and have identified reusable surgical gowns as their collective priority.
- Since the launch of the Sustainable OR Scorecard, TAHSN OR teams have achieved significant improvements on all 10 items.
