When choosing workshops and activities, the roundtable looks for areas of mutual concern and also areas that need further research to develop a strong environmental science background. This workshop focused on the environmental and health impacts related to the design, construction, and operations of healthcare facilities, which are part of one of the largest service industries in the United States. Healthcare institutions are major employers with a considerable role in the community, and it is important to analyze this significant industry. The environment of healthcare facilities is unique; it has multiple stakeholders on both sides, as the givers and the receivers of care. In order to provide optimal care, more research is needed to determine the impacts of the built environment on human health. The scientific evidence for embarking on a green building agenda is not complete, and at present, scientists have limited information. Green Healthcare Institutions: Health, Environment, and Economics, Workshop Summary captures the discussions and presentations by the speakers and participants; they identified the areas in which additional research is needed, the processes by which change can occur, and the gaps in knowledge. 517 3 $aGreen health care institutions 606 $aHealth facilities$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aHealth facilities$xDesign and construction 606 $aSustainable buildings$xDesign and construction 615 0$aHealth facilities$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aHealth facilities$xDesign and construction. 615 0$aSustainable buildings$xDesign and construction. 676 $a725/.51 701 $aFrumkin$b Howard$01805875 701 $aCoussens$b Christine$01804930 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bRoundtable on Environmental Health Sciences, Research, and Medicine. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959121503321 996 $aGreen healthcare institutions$94368355 997 $aUNINA
