The U.S. health care sector contributes 8.5% of national and 25% of global health care emissions. As global efforts to reduce emissions intensify, the spotlight on the U.S. health care sector grows. <a href="/sustainability" title="Sustainability Roadmap for Health Care | Supporting Your Sustainability Journey">Environmental sustainability</a> and -->decarbonization are now integral to the health care mission of healing and promoting well-being. There is a community-wide expectation to reduce emissions and protect the health of patients, employees, and communities. Consequently, health care organizations are leading the way in developing innovative solutions to reduce their carbon footprint. However, financing sustainability projects remains a significant challenge.</p><p>In August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was enacted, offering tax incentives and funding mechanisms typically unavailable to tax-exempt organizations, including non-profit health care. This webinar will feature panelists who will advocate for utilizing IRA incentives. They will provide an overview of the available credits and grants, present the legal perspective on using these incentives, showcase a provider experienced in working with non-profit organizations on successful project implementation, and highlight a case study of an organization that has effectively leveraged IRA funding with the help of legal and financial partners.</p><h4>Learning Outcomes</h4><ul><li>Participants will gain an overview of the tax incentives and funding mechanisms provided by the IRA, specifically for non-profit health care organizations.</li><li>Participants will understand the legal considerations and perspectives on utilizing IRA incentives for sustainability projects.</li><li>Participants will be exposed to a case study of an organization that successfully leveraged IRA funding, providing practical insights and lessons learned.</li><li>Participants will learn from a provider experienced in working with non-profit organizations on implementing successful sustainability projects.</li></ul><h4>CECs</h4><ul><li>0 (No CECs available for this webinar)</li></ul><h4>Speakers</h4><ul><li>Yinying Qian, Managing Director - Accounting Methods and Credits, KPMG</li><li>Charlie Lord, Managing Principal and Co-Founder, Renew Energy Partners, LLC</li><li>Gregg Benson, Mintz</li><li>Kyle Tafuri, Vice President of Sustainability, Hackensack Meridian Health</li></ul><h4>Moderated by</h4><ul><li>Kara Brooks, AHA Senior Director of Sustainability</li></ul> Mon, 07 Oct 2024 09:24:48 -0500 Webinars /education/Understanding-Health-Care-Door-Systems Fri, 31 Mar 2023 13:41:34 -0500 Webinars /education/just-ask-ashe-q4-2023 Sat, 04 Feb 2023 02:59:19 -0600 Webinars /education/just-ask-ashe-q3-2023 Fri, 03 Feb 2023 16:52:24 -0600 Webinars /education/just-ask-ashe-q2-2023 Tue, 31 Jan 2023 13:50:30 -0600 Webinars /education-events/lunch-learn-series-water-quality-potable-systems <h4>Speakers:</h4> <p>Scott Alford,<em> National Account Manager<br /> Watts Water Technologies</em><br /> <br /> Jenny Hill, <em>Product Manager for Commercial Water Quality<br /> Watts Water Technologies</em><br />  </p> <h4>Description:</h4> <p>Understand domestic water distribution and treatment, as well as the various potable water treatment methods, how to apply those methods appropriately, and the effects on the building distribution system and components.</p> <hr /> <h4>Learning Objectives: </h4> <ul> <li>Understand the options for treating the whole building – hot and cold-water systems</li> <li>Learn how water quality components affect one another</li> <li>Learn water quality application best practices</li> <li>Learn vital water quality components the affects they can have on equipment and systems</li> </ul> <hr /> <p>*Lunch and Learn webinars are not eligible for CECs or contact hours.</p> <p> </p> <p>Information provided by</p> <p><a href="https://www.watts.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Watts Water Logo" src="/sites/default/files/2019-11/watts-logo-170x70.png" /></a></p> <p> </p> Tue, 18 Aug 2020 09:21:14 -0500 Webinars /education-events/ashe-webinar-series-beyond-basics-acing-your-joint-commission-survey <h4>Speakers:</h4> <p>Taylor Vaughn, <em>Children's Medical Center Dallas</em><br /> Clayton Smith, <em>Children’s Health</em><br /> Carol McCormick, <em>CHI Health</em></p> <h4>Description:</h4> <p>Simply complying with The Joint Commission Environment of Care standard is the bare minimum for how facilities managers should care for their hospitals. Go beyond simple compliance and ace your survey by excelling in four complex areas. Prepare for the documentation section of your survey, use the standards to create a full emergency power program and show compliance with the 96-hour rule, view the current methods for a collaborative and, interdisciplinary pressure, temperature, and humidity monitoring process, and create a comprehensive water management program to comply with ASHRAE 188. Creating comprehensive programs within the Environment of Care can show that a facility is managing their equipment well and highlights the hard work that the facilities teams do every day.</p> <hr /> <h4>Learning Objectives: </h4> <ul> <li>Describe how to successfully prepare for and navigate the documentation review portion of a survey.</li> <li>Assess your current emergency power program and identify gaps and areas of improvement.</li> <li>Explain the correct procedures for monitoring room pressurization, temperature, and humidity in required areas.</li> <li>Create a comprehensive water management program to combat waterborne pathogens.</li> </ul> <hr /> <p> </p> <p><strong>Sponsored by</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.Vitralogy.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Vitralogy" src="/sites/default/files/2020-07/Vitralogy-Logo_0.png" /></a></p> <p>This webinar is sponsored by Vitralogy.

At a time when this service line is growing and health systems are expanding their programs, the planning, design and construction industry cannot afford a business as usual approach. Accommodating technology while providing nice aesthetics is no hallmark of success when fragmented treatment sites and siloed care leave patients and clinicians feeling isolated and frustrated. It’s time for oncology facilities to reflect treatment’s evolution towards integration. In this session, we will explore how to leverage a multidisciplinary care platform to create a comprehensive care setting. Learn how to develop a comprehensive space strategy that supports a spectrum of services from early detection through treatment and survivorship. Using TriHealth’s recently opened Thomas Center for Comprehensive Care as an example, we will explore the business model for The Cancer Institute and how the new facility design defines a new standard for patient care.</p> <p> </p> <hr /> <h4>Learning Objectives: </h4> <ul> <li>Define multidisciplinary care and the impacts it can have in oncology settings</li> <li>Distinguish when free-standing or hospital campus settings are most appropriate for the program</li> <li>Identify physical environment factors that impact staff collaboration within and across service lines</li> <li>List strategies to connect the built environment with wellbeing for patients and staff<br />  </li> </ul> <hr /> <p><br /> This webinar is worth<b> 1 CEC </b>and <b>1 AIA LU|HSW</b></p> <p>³¯Ñô³Ô¹Ïis an approved AIA Continuing Education Provider.
