Designing a Management Information System to Support Green Hospital Initiatives

In the era of Industry 4.0, the rapid adoption of information technology in the healthcare sector led to significant digital transformations. Implementing digital technology in hospital management supports green hospital initiatives, aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being). This research develops a hospital management information system integrated with Internet of Things (IoT) technology to count the number of vehicles entering and exiting hospital premises, aiming to reduce the hospital's carbon footprint and enhance environmental sustainability. The hospital management application was installed and tested on ten devices, achieving 100% accuracy. The green hospital system, designed to monitor carbon emissions, achieved an accuracy of 83% for counting motorcycles and 96% for counting cars. Some inaccuracies were due to delays in data transmission to the data center. By integrating IoT technology into hospital management, this research promotes healthier hospital environments, reduces pollution, and improves healthcare quality, thereby supporting SDG 3. This approach not only enhances the efficiency of hospital management but also underscores the critical role of technology in fostering sustainable healthcare practices.
