Abstract :
Introduction: Green Hospital is a hospital that improves people's health by continues reducing environmental impacts and meets its share of the burden to disease. Since there is no single and the same pattern of green and healthy hospitals sothe aim of this study was to determine the patterns in green hospital in the world by systematic review. Methods: This study is a comprehensive review and search the site by reputable domestic and foreign institutional and electronic databases was conducted in order to identify patterns green hospital. Results: There are seven green hospital management models for each specific dimensions of their own. There is a large overlap between these models, indicating the importance of some aspects of hospital green. Patterns include: BEPHS, GGHC, USGBC, LEED, ISO14000, SHT, PAHO and GGHH respectively. Conclusion: Overlap in terms of energy efficiency, water efficiency and waste management patterns were observed in all other aspects could be due to differences in location patterns and different organizations providing organizations needs to be mentioned.
