The Green Patient Lab 3.0 is the first full-scale idea-and-research demonstration lab of its kind. GPL 3.0 is designed to elevate awareness of green materials and technologies that are economically viable, readily available and appropriate for use in intensive healthcare settings. It is also a research tool; our goal is to identify where further scientific studies are needed, establish new benchmarks for best practices, establish new best practices, and dispel myths and misconceptions. Traveling now for nearly two years (and in its third evolution), the lab reflects the trends and concerns of facility managers, nursing staff, infection control officers, contractors, environmental services managers, design professionals and healthcare CEOs from across North America.
