Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), rated among the world’s most influential environment policy think tanks in the 2018 Global Go To Think Tank Index, has performed a Environmental Impact Assessment, on the effects of service models in healthcare and social care that that are provided with the support of distance spanning solutions.

SEI has also made a synergy and trade off analysis between different Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), by applying their SDG trade off chart. This helps synergies and tradeoffs to become visible, for better and more informed decision making when updating your service model.
