The document discusses how healthcare facilities are evolving from a focus on sustainability to wellness. It provides examples from Seton Medical System of how adopting sustainable and green building practices can provide financial benefits through reduced energy and operational costs while also improving employee engagement, health, and retention. Specifically, Dell Children's Medical Center achieved LEED Platinum certification and saw $350,000/year in energy savings compared to one hospital and $300,000/year compared to another. Studies also showed lower employee turnover, injuries, and higher perceptions of indoor air quality at Dell Children's versus the other hospitals, translating to additional savings of over $3.5 million per year.

This document discusses options for improving Australia's health insurance risk equalization system. The current system largely eliminates cost differences by age through subsidies, but other cost differences remain. It shares over 40% of claim costs between insurers.

It concludes that while risk equalization systems require periodic change, modifications to the high-cost pool and incentives for youth could lengthen the life of Australia's current system before considering more substantial reforms like risk-based capitation.
