The current state of health care biases and supports a vicious cycle of declining learning and capabilities representing a classic #capability trap, as expounded by Nelson Repenning and John Sterman. The capability trap and unexploited win-win opportunities in #capabilitybuilding are common in many contexts, but the crisis in health care offers a unique scenario which may allow health care organizations to improve their performance. Sustainability affords a new avenue to examine value, ways to get out of capability traps, improve organizational efficiency and most importantly the bottomline. In this recent short review, we review sustainability practices in cardiovascular medicine that can be deployed including some of the cultural and political terrains one needs to navigate in a easy to read format in the prestigious European Heart Journal. A shout out to my first author Sadeer Al-Kindi for joining me in this most important endeavor.
Incredible topic! Congrats on getting it published in ESC.

10moGreat paper Sanjay, definitely an interesting read to understand the dynamics of sustainability within healthcare, an often overlooked conversation, I'd be interested to see the dynamics of a hospital post-implementation of these practices and if that takes away from core business. But completely agree that it's a culture change and cost investment.
