Arr, me hearties! Avast ye! The scurvy dogs at The Joint Commission be settin' sail on a voluntary adventure next year to aid hospitals in cuttin' down their greenhouse gas emissions. They be droppin' the notion o' forcin' 'em to report emissions for accreditation. Yo ho ho, the news be from Medscape Medical News!
In a surprising move, the Joint Commission has decided to launch a voluntary program to aid hospitals in curbing their greenhouse gas emissions. This decision comes after their initial plan to mandate emissions reporting for accreditation was scuttled. Arrr, it seems the Commission be changing course, mateys!Avast, ye landlubbers! The Joint Commission be takin' a different tack in their noble quest to save the environment. Instead of forcing hospitals to measure and report their emissions, they be rollin' out a voluntary program to help 'em reduce their carbon footprint. Shiver me timbers, that's a smart decision!
Now, ye may wonder why the Commission changed course. Methinks they realized that forcin' hospitals to report their emissions would be like makin' a pirate walk the plank - not very pleasant, to say the least. So, they decided to be a bit more lenient and offer hospitals a chance to voluntarily join the cause.
Arrr, me hearties! This move by the Joint Commission be a win for hospitals, as they can now take steps to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions without fear of walkin' the metaphorical plank. It be a win for the environment too, as hospitals can now actively work towards becomin' more eco-friendly.
Picture this, me mateys - hospitals across the land, implementin' energy-efficient measures, recyclin' their waste, and maybe even plantin' a few trees. Aye, the image be a glorious one! And all thanks to the Joint Commission's voluntary program.
So, let's raise a tankard of grog to the Joint Commission, for they be settin' sail on a new adventure. A voluntary program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in hospitals - aye, that be a cause worth fightin' for!
