Formulación de las condiciones ambientales iniciales de la Institución de salud del Sarare del Municipio de Saravena Arauca, con el fin de obtener la membresía como hospital verde.

Abstract

“A green hospital is defined as one that promotes, from its design and operation, strategies aimed at reducing its environmental impact, its carbon footprint, energy consumption and nonrenewable resources” (Salud Sin Daño, América Latina, 2015). In the present business practice, the formulation of the initial environmental conditions of the Sarare health institution of the Saravena Arauca municipality was carried out, in order to obtain membership as a green hospital, which is the term used to define being part of the global network. Following the methodology described in chapter 4 of the present practice, the lack of documents aimed at the use of waste and efficient use and saving of energy and water was evidenced. On the other hand, when filling out the forms for reporting the waste and energy objectives, a 4.67% decrease in the amount of waste was observed and therefore its treatment with 8.42%, obtained that the institution's energy consumption intensity index is 71 KWh / m2 and that the electricity grid is the largest generator of metric tons of CO2 with 73%, followed by the burning of gasoline for transportation with 25%. For this reason, institutional programs were formulated to solve the lack of this information, and allow the implementation of strategies such as the efficient use of energy, in which there is a great opportunity to decrease the intensity index of energy consumption and metric tons of CO2. Finally, it is recommended to improve the management of waste and energy objectives, which are currently registered in the global network of green and healthy hospitals
