Many implications for planetary health from our study:
-Practicing clinicians could consider their prescribing practices,
-Payors could consider a review of their formularies, and
-All health systems could consider conducting their own practice assessments to identify mitigation opportunities
-Practicing clinicians could consider their prescribing practices,
-Payors could consider a review of their formularies, and
-All health systems could consider conducting their own practice assessments to identify mitigation opportunities
Inhaler-related #greenhouse gas emissions in the VA health system dropped 68% from 2008 to 2023, primarily due to policy and formulary changes favoring lower-emission inhaler options.
