This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This Early Concept Grants Exploratory Research (EAGER) proposal seeks to achieve a substantial increase in knowledge of the healthcare services aimed at improved sustainability decision-making. The initial focus is on patterns of energy consumption. An energy analysis at the level of granularity and for industry-wide diagnosis as proposed herein has never been conducted in a healthcare setting. The life cycle approach to be used will be made consistent with modern evidence-based guidelines used in medicine today. The relationship between the decision to deliver a patient service and energy will be described. To achieve this broader impact, we seek to understand and tailor lci information needs for healthcare decision-making which is advancing along practices of evidence-based guidelines (EBG), the practice of evidence-based medicine at the organizational or institutional level. Validated life cycle energy information heuristics for selected services in healthcare will be posted on a Website for healthcare community education and use.

该奖项是根据2009年《美国复苏和再投资法案》(公法111-5)资助的。这项早期概念拨款探索性研究(AGIRE)提案旨在大幅增加对旨在改善可持续性决策的医疗服务的了解。最初的重点是能源消费模式。在此提出的粒度级别的能量分析和用于全行业诊断的能量分析从未在保健环境中进行过。将使用的生命周期方法将与当今医学中使用的现代循证指南保持一致。提供病人服务的决定和能量之间的关系将被描述。为了实现这一更广泛的影响，我们寻求了解和定制医疗决策的LCI信息需求，这一需求正在循证指南(EBG)的实践中发展，EBG是组织或机构层面的循证医学实践。经过验证的医疗保健服务的生命周期能源信息启发式将发布在医疗保健社区教育和使用的网站上。
