Healthcare outlook: Powering the future of sustainable healthcare
New research from the Infrastructure Transition Monitor reveals healthcare organizations are rethinking energy efficiency, digital operations, and infrastructure resilience to support safer, more sustainable care.
Healthcare providers are under increasing pressure to deliver safe, patient-centered care while navigating rising demand, workforce constrains, growing costs, and sustainability challenges. As hospitals are among the most energy-intensive building types, reducing energy use is no longer only an environmental priority. It is becoming essential to financial stability, infrastructure resilience, patient safety, and the quality of care.
Based on proprietary data from the Infrastructure Transition Monitor, this report explores how healthcare organizations are approaching the infrastructure transition: where they are accelerating investments, which barriers are slowing progress, and how digitalization, AI, electrification, and smart building technologies can help create more sustainable, efficient, and resilient healthcare facilities.
