Even if you think your medical practice is green, there are ways to take your practice to the next level when it comes to energy efficiency and environmentalism. Keep reading to learn more about getting your medical records digitized and taking your office green this Earth Day.

What are the benefits of going green?

There are many benefits to going green. First, you can boost your employee morale. Younger generations are paying attention to how their employer impacts the environment and by showing your employees that you are going green, you can boost employee morale. In addition, going green can also cut costs. Instead of paying for paper, you can go digital with your medical records. Last, but certainly not least, going green is also great for the environment!

What are some ways that I can take my medical practice green?

If you are looking for ways to take your medical practice green, there are lots of great ideas out there! Investing in living plants is one way because green spaces promote overall health and are eco-friendly! This not only helps you go green but can also help reduce the anxiety of patients while in your waiting room.

Another option is to switch from fluorescent lights to LEDs. LEDs last forever, are easier on the eyes, and have been linked to improved mood and mental clarity. You can also implement policies to limit single-use items like plastic cutlery in the break room, foam cups, and takeout containers. Turning off things when the office is closed and even lowering the thermostat are also great to improve energy efficiency.

Another option to take your medical practice green is by converting paper medical records into a digital database. This allows you to reduce your need for paper, ink, and other disposable office supplies. And the good news is, My Retired Doctor can help you!
