本研究は、医療セクターの脱炭素化における課題と促進要因を、リアルタイムデルファイ法を用いて専門家評価した。エネルギーシステムやインフラへの介入は高い影響が期待されるが、規制の複雑さや倫理的懸念が課題となる。一方、教育や価値観の変化を促す戦略は実行可能性が高いとされた。データへのアクセス改善と共有意思決定が重要な促進要因として示された。
English
Using a Real-time Delphi method with 14 experts, this study examines challenges and enablers for decarbonizing healthcare. Interventions targeting energy and infrastructure are seen as high-impact but face regulatory and ethical barriers. Education and value shifts are perceived as more feasible. Improving environmental data access and shared decision-making are key enablers for acceptable ecological transitions.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Healthcare systems are increasingly committing to climate action, yet efforts to reduce their environmental footprint raise operational challenges. Decarbonization initiatives can generate concerns about cost, patient safety, care quality, and equitable access, revealing tensions that complicate implementation. This study examines how experts assess the impact and feasibility of climate-related interventions in healthcare, identifying key challenges and enablers. Using a Real-time Delphi approach, we consulted 14 specialists with ethics, sustainability, biomedical sciences, and public health backgrounds, who evaluated the relevance and applicability of five <i>social tipping elements</i> within the healthcare context. Interventions targeting energy systems and infrastructure were viewed as potentially high-impact but limited by regulatory complexity, infrastructural constraints, and ethical concerns. In contrast, strategies centered on education and shifts in values were perceived as more feasible, though questions about operationalization remain. Experts also noted potential issues, such as patient mistrust or clinician disengagement, if environmental goals are seen as misaligned with core commitments of healthcare practice. Overall, these findings underscore the need for inclusive, ethically robust, evidence-informed, and context-sensitive strategies that integrate sustainability goals with patient, professional, and institutional priorities. Improving access to environmental impact data and supporting shared decision-making emerged as key enablers for fostering acceptable ecological transitions in healthcare.
