Software calculates long-term costs of green products

Practice Greenhealth unveils sustainability tool


Practice Greenhealth recently introduced a new software tool to help hospitals evaluate the long-term costs of green products, according to  costs compared with other market choices, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.
