THE SUSTAINABLE HOSPITAL PLAYBOOK

The Centre for Healthcare Innovation (CHI) collaborated with the National University of Singapore’s Division of Industrial Design (NUS DID) to consider how various operations within Tan Tock Seng Hospital could be redesigned to operate in a more sustainable manner.

Taking place from August to November 2023, design teams worked closely with staff from the Endoscopy Centre, Inpatient Wards, Care & Counselling department, Community Health Team, and Kitchen to innovate feasible, low-cost solutions to address sustainability from a ground-up perspective.

This book, ‘The Sustainable Hospital Playbook’, details the various approaches and opportunities explored during the project. It also showcases the different design outcomes and impacts of each team’s proposed interventions.

The playbook was the result of months of close collaboration between staff from CHI and designers from the Service Design Lab, and was unveiled to audience members during the ‘CHI INNOVATE 2024: Sustainability in Healthcare’ conference held on the 4th and 5th of July.

The Service Design Lab would like to thank all stakeholders, staff, and student designers involved in this project.
