How Rainwater is used in a German Hospital
Building services and modern medical technology are complex issues in a hospital. A work group for environmental protection was organized in the clinic as early as 1988. And the management has pursued a stringent quality management concept for many years already. Certification of the clinic as a whole with respect to environmental management (re-certification, EMAS II), certification of the central sterilization facilities according to DIN-ISO as well as integration of a RISK management system were the pre-requirements for the establishment of a comprehensive quality management system. The technical department, which is responsible for procurement and maintenance, is also responsible for the most recently published environmental statement, in 2011.
