Carbon Committee

Suppose a local, private hospital established a goal of reducing its carbon footprint by 25 percent in three years. As a healthcare administrator at the facility, you are asked to help create a new Cut Carbon committee. Draft a statement of the purpose for the committee, describe how membership to the committee would be determined, who would be accountable for the progress of the committee, and to whom the committee would report. (Adapted from p. 122 of Management of Healthcare Organizations.)

Be sure to support your statements with logic and argument, citing any sources referenced.

Question 2

Describe a major determinant of individual health status in Saudi Arabia, including its effect on individuals and the community. Analyze the features of a healthcare system that best respond to this health issue, including whether the system is equipped to deal with this issue or how it could be modified to better handle the situation. How will you know whether a health system deals with this issue effectively?
