: As one of the biggest organisations in the world, the National Health Service (NHS) in England can contribute considerably to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (UN's SDGs). In order to optimise this, this study evaluated and reconceptualised a sustainable development assessment tool for health and care settings in England.
: A quantitative survey and user/expert discussion panels were conducted to evaluate and reconceptualise the existing sustainable development assessment tool used by the NHS in England, the so-called 'Good Corporate Citizenship Assessment Tool', including potential improvements such as the integration of the UN's SDGs.
: A reconceptualised self-assessment tool integrating the UN's SDGs was developed and implemented online as the 'Sustainable Development Assessment Tool' (SDAT). Further improvements included a process-oriented redesign and the creation of new modules and cross-sections aligning them with the leads responsible for the implementation of key initiatives in NHS organisations, which would contribute to achieving the targets of the SDGs.
: User/expert involvement has enabled an informed approach to a reconceptualisation of a sustainable assessment tool for health and care settings. The tool will support organisations to build their mandatory Sustainable Development Management Plans, as part of the National Public Health Outcomes Framework. Alignment of the tool to the UN's SDGs provides an opportunity for health and care organisations to demonstrate accountability and progress against the UN's set of transformational goals. Furthermore, the tool could be adapted to other public service providers.
作为世界上最大的组织之一，英国国民保健制度（NHS）可以为联合国可持续发展目标（UN 的 SDGs）做出重大贡献。为了优化这一点，本研究评估并重新构想了一种适用于英格兰卫生和保健环境的可持续发展评估工具。
进行了定量调查和用户/专家讨论小组，以评估和重新构想英国 NHS 使用的现有可持续发展评估工具，即所谓的“良好企业公民评估工具”，包括可能的改进，例如纳入联合国可持续发展目标。
开发并在线实施了一个重新构想的自我评估工具，纳入了联合国可持续发展目标，即“可持续发展评估工具”（SDAT）。进一步的改进包括面向流程的重新设计以及创建新模块和跨部分，使它们与负责 NHS 组织中关键举措实施的负责人保持一致，这将有助于实现 SDGs 的目标。
用户/专家的参与使重新构想卫生和保健环境的可持续性评估工具成为可能。该工具将支持组织制定强制性的可持续发展管理计划，作为国家公共卫生成果框架的一部分。该工具与联合国可持续发展目标的对齐为卫生和保健组织提供了一个机会，以展示对联合国一整套变革性目标的问责制和进展。此外，该工具可以适应其他公共服务提供商。
