MEPA
MEDICAL EQUIPMENT PROACTIVE ALLIANCE FOR SUSTAINABLE HEALTHCARE
The Medical Equipment Proactive Alliance for Sustainable Healthcare (MEPA) is a joint initiative of COCIR, HealthTrust and Vizient, to foster sustainability within healthcare. The Alliance, in consultation with the Global Electronics Council and Kaiser Permanente, developed the “Sustainability Criteria for Purchasing Medical Imaging Equipment” to provide a set of relevant criteria which may be useful for sustainable/green procurement of medical imaging devices.
Based on the “State of Sustainability Research for Medical Imaging Devices”, prepared by the Global Electronics Council® in 2022 the criteria aim to reduce the climate, environmental and social impacts of medical imaging devices supplied to the healthcare sector.
