Biomedical Waste Management
This chapter is in the book Biomedical Waste Management

Abstract

Biomedical waste is generated frequently by hospitals, laboratories, and other such establishments. This biomedical waste demands disposal by specific methods to ensure safety of the environment and the public. Biomedical waste management is a process of paramount importance, which in the modern era can be ameliorated using information technology (IT). This chapter aims to explore the same role of IT in enhancing the waste disposal process, optimizing revenue generation by reduction in operational costs from biomedical waste management. Tracking systems, data analytics, and automations offer solutions to increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of biomedical waste management. The chapter reviews existing literature, displays case studies, and attempts to exhibit the potential merits of IT integration in the process of biomedical waste management; further we also shed light on the financial and environmental consequences of the integration, showcasing the importance of IT in revenue generation and its role in contributing to a safer, environmentally responsible biomedical waste management process.
