Abstract
Climate change is a very real, complex and critical issue facing all of us today. In fact, its effects will spillover into future generations. Thus, there is a need to take action now. World Health Organization estimates that about 24% of all deaths globally are related to environmental causes. This is a call for healthcare to take action and decarbonize to reduce carbon emissions towards target net zero. Clinical care pathways are fundamental to medical management. Targeting care pathways reform as one of the starting points in healthcare is a good,
fundamental initiative as it forms the intersection between:
i. Better population health
ii. Increased resilience of the healthcare systems
iii. decarbonizing healthcare.
This paper shares the author’s views on how to reform care pathways and ensure the engagement of all necessary stakeholders in our mission to achieve a safer, cleaner, and healthier world. The will to change, collaborate on new ideas, and implement innovations are necessary to accelerate the transition to net zero healthcare systems.
