380 Sustainable Health Care to Provide Good Quality Care in the Surgical Industry- United Kingdom

Abstract

Abstract Aim The surgical industry has a major contribution towards sustainable health care. The aim is to critically evaluate sustainable healthcare to provide good quality care in the surgical industry in the United Kingdom. Method A systemic review was conducted using peer-reviewed studies and articles from the United Kingdom related to surgical and anesthetic fields within the last 5 years. The most relevant journal articles were selected based on their relevance to healthcare system performance sustainability, including risks, and subsequently screened using the PRISMA 2020 model screening approach. The findings of the relevant journal articles were then evaluated critically for each theme. Results A total of 79 studies were retrieved. Fifteen of the retrieved studies met the inclusion criteria. Ten of the papers evaluated some existing sustainability practices. Only seven papers discussed significant determinants of good quality health care. Only 86.67% of the papers highlighted the implications of sustainability. The key predictors of high-quality medical care are effective resource management, moral surgical team acquisitions, professional services, integration, short hospital stays, and low mortality and morbidity rates. Conserving water, optimizing treatment routes and transportation, and creating cultural change were found to be the pillars of high-quality sustainable healthcare. Conclusions The concept of sustainability varied across these studies and limitations on sustainability through reduced mortality, morbidity, and business services were observed. The most detrimental effect on the sustainability of the surgical industry remains to be anesthetic gas emission from the theatres. A significant discrepancy was noted between the available data and its implication.
