Abstract

Healthcare and medical-social facilities have a major responsibility within society, that of the quality of care, but also that of developing a system of sustainable and socially-responsible health. This system must meet the three pillars which constitute such an approach: economic, social and environmental sustainability. Innovation remains central to the sustainable evolution of practices and the first results are now visible.

Keywords: développement durable; environment; environnement; health; healthcare facility; innovation; santé; sustainable development; établissement de santé.
