    090 Data-Driven Decarbonization of Danish Hospitals with Thea and Rasmus
    Sep 25 2025
    Data-Driven Decarbonization of Danish Hospitals — with Rasmus & Thea Summary

    How do Denmark’s regions actually use data to steer the green transition in hospitals—and what does it change on the ground?

    In this episode, Rasmus (Region Midtjylland) and Thea (Region Syddanmark) unpack why procurement dominates the footprint in Denmark, how a “climate management model” guides reductions, and what happens when you move from single-use to multi-use—or simply stop buying low-value items altogether.

    We also touch on tricky boundary topics like ambulances (listen to the deep dive we did with David from falck in episode 056), staff/patient transport, and why energy is a smaller lever in Denmark than in many other countries.

    Guests:
    • Rasmus — Center for Sustainable Hospitals, Central Denmark Region (Region Midtjylland). Builds the sustainability data system and evaluates environmental impacts of change projects.
    • Thea — Region of Southern Denmark (Region Syddanmark). Leads carbon baseline work and helps prioritize, start, and track decarbonization projects.
    What we cover
    • Why procurement (the “stuff we buy”) is the main lever in Danish hospitals
    • Energy & transport in Denmark: why grid mix and modern buildings downplay energy, and what’s in/out of scope on transport
    • The Climate Management Model: back-casting to net-zero and allocating reductions across strategies
    • The reduction hierarchy in practice: avoid → switch to multi-use → supplier requirements
    • A simple starter win: phasing out disposable exam table paper (“lejepapir”) and measuring the CO₂ impact
    • Change management realities: engaging clinicians and aligning purchasing pathways
    Key takeaways
    • In Denmark, procurement drives the footprint more than energy or (in-scope) transport.
    • Start at the top of the ladder: avoid use where clinically acceptable, then shift to multi-use, then green the supply chain.
    • A shared climate management model turns scattered projects into a coherent path to net-zero—and makes results comparable across regions.

    089 - Koen Kas transforming healthcare and clinical trials
    Sep 9 2025
    Prof. Dr. Koen Kas—healthcare futurist and founder of Healthskouts—joins us to explore how “Delight Thinking” and 24/7 digital twins can shift care from reactive sickcare to proactive health.

    We unpack real-world models like Best Buy’s at-home monitoring, and how redesigning care and going remote-by-default can also reduce emissions.

    Koen dives into N=1 clinical trials, federated learning, and Tim Berners-Lee’s Solid personal data pods—and shares insights from his new book, Epic, on building healthspan and “fullness.”

    Circular Medication Flows in the ICU — What the Data Really Say
    Host: Frederik Van Deurs
    Guests: Jasper Klasen (Adult Intensive Care, Erasmus MC) and Nicole Hunfeld (Hospital Pharmacy, Erasmus MC)

    How much medication and packaging does an ICU actually use—and where does it all end up?

    A new study mapped the flows and uncovered practical levers to cut waste without compromising care.
