BY DR TESSA KENNEDY, CHAIR, AMA COUNCIL OF DOCTORS IN TRAINING. Most often, "doctor" codes take the form of "Paging Dr. Sinclair", where the doctor's "name" is a code word for a dangerous situation or a patient in crisis, e.g. This plan may comprise any of the aforementioned emergency codes and the facility’s immediate command centers. But also question whether the marginal cost saving of procuring single use plastic items offsets the clinical waste disposal and other environmental costs. A Code Green is another emergency code used in health care facilities to denote the activation of the emergency operations plan. Hospital emergency codes have often varied widely by location, even between hospitals in the same community. Other codes, however, only signal hospital staff generally to prepare for the fallout of some external event such as a natural disaster.
Code Green: A message announced over a hospital’s public address system, indicating (1) The need for an emergency evacuation of a ward or the facility itself (2) A combative person using physical force, who may be armed (3) External disaster (4) Fire drill (5) All Clear, return to duties

As Associate Professor Forbes McGain of the University of Sydney and Doctors for the Environment Australia has said: “The [Australian] health-care system can’t become low carbon and low waste without leadership, incentives and direction.”Being aware of the environmental impact of our work practices and changing our individual actions are a great way to bring the issue front of mind and help start a conversation with others. Hospitals have lots of codes. Like any efforts we make are just a drop in a warming ocean.But what if we could see the impact of our actions in the community we treat? The aforesaid response strategies are dependent on the emergency and will be determined by the Incident Manager. The way we run our hospitals is also increasingly unsustainable from an environmental perspective.Health facilities and workers should promote a holistic approach to health, including its social and environmental determinants.
