Jordan Health Services recognizes it plays a role in protecting our environment. Below are a few actions our team has undertaken to do our part:

• Use of electronic medical records for patients receiving Home Health Services thus decreasing the use of paper products
• Use of handheld computers, called PDAs (personal digital assistants) for both documentation of daily activities and internal communication, whenever possible
• Continued decrease in the use of desktop computers which can create a challenge at the time of replacement
• Use of technology in day-to-day business operations in an effort to decrease the use of paper:
  • On-line employment applications
  • On-line patient referrals
  • Electronic posting of internal policies & procedures
  • Electronic posting of company data such as financial statements, internal requests, human resource documents, etc.
  • Electronic storage of critical company records, whenever allowed by regulation
• As electronic equipment is upgraded, Jordan searches for the most cost-effective, power-efficient products to reduce electricity consumption
• Conservative use of electricity during non-business hours
• Whenever feasible, Jordan donates used electronic equipment to the local community, such as schools, rather than discarding in local landfills
• Computer based training for clinical and non-clinical team members decreases the need for large amounts of document reproduction
• Purchase of recycled paper products such as copy paper
• Proper planning when scheduling in-home visits to ensure minimal miles driven, thus conserving the use of gasoline
• Leasing of company-vehicles that meet or exceed 30 miles per gallon of gasoline
• Using energy-saving settings on computer equipment, printers, electronic devices, and powering down these items during non-business hours
• Use of computer technology to share and review internal documents onscreen versus printing documents
• Saving files in a PDF format to eliminate blank pages in documents that must be printed
• Use of technology to submit bills to payers versus the submission & storage of paper bills, when possible
• Payment of vendor invoices electronically, when possible
• Re-use of shipping boxes and packing materials
• Use of telecommuting for employees, when possible, to decrease the need for more office space and associated utilities
