Jackson Health System projects 47% reduction in carbon emissions from patient monitors with Philips next generation monitoring platform
Philips and Jackson Health System have announced the results of a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) measuring the sustainability impact of transitioning to Philips' next-generation monitoring solutions. The study, conducted at three Jackson Health facilities in Miami-Dade County, Florida, reveals that Philips patient monitors can help reduce carbon emissions by 685.1 tons of CO2e or 47% compared to previous systems.
The transition also eliminates the need for an estimated 420,000 disposable AA batteries and 6.5 million sheets of paper, potentially saving the health system $1.2 million over a 10-year device lifetime. Philips' IntelliVue and EarlyVue monitors can help reduce the health system's patient monitoring carbon footprint by 508 tons of CO2e across all lifecycle facets, with battery and paper savings reducing CO2e by an additional 177.1 tons.
Philips e Jackson Health System hanno annunciato i risultati di una Valutazione del Ciclo di Vita (LCA) che misura l'impatto sulla sostenibilità della transizione verso le soluzioni di monitoraggio di prossima generazione di Philips. Lo studio, condotto in tre strutture sanitarie di Jackson a Miami-Dade County, Florida, svela che i monitor per pazienti di Philips possono aiutare a ridurre le emissioni di carbonio di 685,1 tonnellate di CO2e o del 47% rispetto ai sistemi precedenti.
La transizione elimina anche la necessità di circa 420.000 batterie AA usa e getta e di 6,5 milioni di fogli di carta, potenzialmente risparmiando al sistema sanitario $1,2 milioni nel corso di 10 anni di vita del dispositivo. I monitor IntelliVue e EarlyVue di Philips possono contribuire a ridurre l'impronta di carbonio del monitoraggio dei pazienti del sistema sanitario di 508 tonnellate di CO2e in tutti gli aspetti del ciclo di vita, con i risparmi su batterie e carta che riducono ulteriormente le emissioni di CO2e di 177,1 tonnellate.

Los monitores IntelliVue y EarlyVue de Philips pueden ayudar a reducir la huella de carbono de monitoreo de pacientes del sistema de salud en 508 toneladas de CO2e en todos los aspectos del ciclo de vida, con los ahorros de baterías y papel que reducen las emisiones de CO2e en 177,1 toneladas.
필립스와 잭슨 헬스 시스템은 필립스의 차세대 모니터링 솔루션으로 전환하는 것의 지속 가능성 영향을 측정한 생애 주기 평가(LCA) 결과를 발표했습니다. 플로리다주 마이애미-데이드 카운티에 있는 세 개의 잭슨 헬스 시설에서 진행된 이 연구는 필립스 환자 모니터가 이전 시스템에 비해 685.1톤의 CO2e, 즉 47%의 탄소 배출을 줄이는 데 도움이 될 수 있음을 보여줍니다.
이 전환은 약 420,000개의 일회용 AA 배터리와 650만 장의 종이에 대한 필요성을 제거하여 건강 시스템이 10년 장비 수명 동안 120만 달러를 절약할 가능성이 있습니다. 필립스의 IntelliVue 및 EarlyVue 모니터는 건강 시스템의 환자 모니터링 탄소 발자국을 508톤의 CO2e 줄이는 데 도움을 줄 수 있으며, 배터리 및 종이 절약을 통해 CO2e를 추가로 177.1톤 줄일 수 있습니다.
Philips et Jackson Health System ont annoncé les résultats d'une Évaluation du Cycle de Vie (LCA) mesurant l'impact de durabilité de la transition vers les solutions de surveillance de nouvelle génération de Philips. L'étude, réalisée dans trois établissements de Jackson Health dans le comté de Miami-Dade, en Floride, révèle que les moniteurs pour patients de Philips peuvent réduire les émissions de carbone de 685,1 tonnes de CO2e ou de 47% par rapport aux systèmes précédents.
La transition élimine également le besoin d'environ 420 000 piles AA jetables et de 6,5 millions de feuilles de papier, ce qui pourrait permettre au système de santé d'économiser 1,2 million de dollars sur une durée de vie de 10 ans des dispositifs. Les moniteurs IntelliVue et EarlyVue de Philips peuvent aider à réduire l'empreinte carbone de la surveillance des patients du système de santé de 508 tonnes de CO2e dans tous les aspects du cycle de vie, les économies réalisées sur les piles et le papier réduisant encore les émissions de CO2e de 177,1 tonnes.
Philips und Jackson Health System haben die Ergebnisse einer Lebenszyklusanalyse (LCA) veröffentlicht, die die Nachhaltigkeitsauswirkungen des Übergangs zu Philips' Lösungen der nächsten Generation für das Patientenmonitoring misst. Die Studie, die in drei Einrichtungen des Jackson Health Systems im Miami-Dade County, Florida, durchgeführt wurde, zeigt, dass die Patientenmonitore von Philips helfen können, die Kohlenstoffemissionen um 685,1 Tonnen CO2e oder 47% im Vergleich zu vorherigen Systemen zu reduzieren.
Der Übergang beseitigt auch die Notwendigkeit von geschätzten 420.000 Einweg-AA-Batterien und 6,5 Millionen Blättern Papier, was dem Gesundheitssystem möglicherweise 1,2 Millionen Dollar über eine Gerätelebensdauer von 10 Jahren sparen könnte. Die IntelliVue- und EarlyVue-Monitore von Philips können helfen, den CO2e-Ausstoß des Patientenmonitorings des Gesundheitssystems um 508 Tonnen CO2e in allen Lebenszyklusphasen zu reduzieren, wobei die Einsparungen bei Batterien und Papier eine zusätzliche Reduktion von 177,1 Tonnen CO2e bewirken.

Opportunity for significant savings in energy consumption, reduction of paper and elimination of disposable batteries for telemetry revealed in Life Cycle Assessment
Amsterdam, The Netherlands and Cambridge, Mass. and Miami, FL. – Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, and Jackson Health System, one of the nation’s largest public health systems in the United States, today announced results of a collaborative Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) measuring the sustainability impact of transitioning to Philips next generation monitoring solutions. The study was conducted at Jackson Memorial Hospital, Jackson North Medical Center and Jackson South Medical Center in Miami-Dade County in Florida. The Philips patient monitors, deployed as an Enterprise Monitoring as a Service (EMaaS) business model*, can help reduce carbon emissions by 685.1 tons of CO2e or
Data from the LCA indicates that the Philips IntelliVue and EarlyVue monitors can help reduce the health system’s patient monitoring carbon footprint by 508 tons of CO2e across all facets of the lifecycle. Battery and paper savings reduce CO2e by an additional 177.1 tons [2,3]. Before upgrading to Philips, all of Jackson’s legacy telemetry patient monitors were powered by disposable AA batteries, requiring hundreds of replacements each week. With the previous monitors, clinicians printed paper wavestrips multiple times a day per patient and then manually scanned them into their electronic medical record. In contrast, Philips telemetry monitors can run on rechargeable batteries, and provide a digital, automated wavestrip workflow, eliminating paper waste and freeing clinicians to spend more time with patients.
“At Jackson Health System, we are committed to sustainable practices that support human and environmental health,” said Rosa M. Costanzo, Chief Supply Chain and Procurement Officer at Jackson Health System. “By transitioning to Philips patient monitors, we can reduce our carbon footprint and bring lasting benefits in materials and costs. This assessment illustrates that health systems can balance the need for advanced technology with environmental sustainability.”
Jackson Health System prioritizes sustainable procurement practices and is deliberate with the lifecycle of its technology. The healthcare provider has traded in its legacy monitors to AllParts Medical, a division of Philips, for parts refurbishment and reuse, responsible recycling and to promote circularity to ensure nothing is sent to landfill. The health system has also been working with a partner to recycle
“There are significant sustainability challenges in today's healthcare industry, and forward-thinking health systems are taking action,” said Jeff DiLullo, Chief Region Leader, Philips North America. “I commend Jackson Health System for leading by example and embracing sustainable digital capabilities. By integrating advanced technology to reduce carbon emissions and cut waste, they create the benefit of improving staff satisfaction and productivity. Together, we can pave the way to better patient care while also protecting our planet with a healthier, more sustainable future.”
The LCA was conducted using data collection, onsite interviews and analysis to quantify costs and waste figures. The LCA evaluated 2,887 bedside, telemetry, transport and spot-check monitors from production to disposal, assessing environmental impacts of resource extraction, manufacturing, transportation, use and end of use.
