Given this scenario, various studies have been conducted on the related topics, such as research on the evaluation criteria for hospital construction certification [ 4 , 14 , 18 ], case studies on minimizing the environmental impact of patient treatment [ 19 ], and theoretical analyses on the topic [ 20 ]. However, there is a paucity of empirical research on green healthcare practices.…”
