Clifton, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/26/2018 -- ImageFIRST Healthcare Laundry Specialists introduced the new ImageFIRST ScrubVAULT System, a locker designed to improve scrub management at healthcare facilities.

Scrub management is an issue for many health systems, as staff may unintentionally wear their scrubs home or lose them. Other times, there is not enough inventory or correct sizes to meet the needs of staff. These issues may result in shortages or costly replacements. To effectively manage inventory and minimize these problems from occurring, ImageFIRST created the ScrubVAULT System.

This easy-to-use locker with a compact footprint securely stores, dispenses, and tracks distribution of scrubs. With this system, medical personnel have real-time visibility of scrub inventory and usage. The locker opens with a code unique to each staff member and enables them to select and wear scrubs. All ImageFIRST scrubs are tagged with safe UHF RFID chips, a proven technology already in use in medical equipment by healthcare facilities.

The UHF RFID technology keeps track of how many scrubs or what sizes were taken, who borrowed them, and when they were taken and returned, offering full transparency and allowing for proactive replenishment of scrubs before medical facilities run out.

"Once it reads the code, the ScrubVAULT System opens in about two seconds, and the staff member can just pick the size she or he needs, and they're set," said Jay Juffre, vice president of operations and national service director of ImageFIRST. "And unlike other scrub dispensers, a person can take two or three sets, so they have everything they need...They don't have to keep going back."

The ScrubVAULT System, in addition to ImageFIRST's other products and services, helps medical facilities avoid shortages. ImageFIRST offers linen programs, patient gown rentals, and many other services in New Jersey and surrounding states so that medical staff can prioritize patient care instead of taking time to manage inventory.

Clifton, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/31/2017 -- ImageFIRST Healthcare Laundry Specialists, provider of medical uniforms in New Jersey and locations throughout the United States, gathered donations to support victims of hurricanes and other natural disasters that struck North America this fall.

After Hurricane Harvey hit Texas in August, ImageFIRST associates united to collect monetary donations locally, and all donations were in turn matched 100% by the company. ImageFIRST associates reportedly used creative fundraising methods: The New Jersey and Lancaster locations generated donations for victims of Hurricane Harvey by allowing associates to throw pies in the faces of managers for every $5 that was raised. Atlanta associates sold t-shirts to associates, customers, and their community to raise donations.

When Hurricane Irma hit Florida and the islands, the ImageFIRST Los Angeles location collected toys to donate to the children of ImageFIRST Miami associates. Toys were donated by plant associates, customer advocates, and the management team.

As natural disasters continued to hit, ImageFIRST went beyond the dollar-for-dollar match and donated $4,000 to Direct Relief to support relief efforts in Mexico, Puerto Rico, Florida, and Haiti. ImageFIRST also donated $4,000 to their Houston location in the wake of Hurricane Harvey.

ImageFIRST's purpose is to build a great company by positively impacting the lives of their associates, communities, customers, and their customers' patients. Each ImageFIRST location holds quarterly community giving events, and once a year holds their national Community Giving Day event. Nationwide, the company works regularly with charitable organizations such as Habitat For Humanity and March of Dimes.

ImageFIRST provides medical linen products such as medical scrubs uniforms to healthcare facilities in New Jersey and nationwide. To learn more about the company's services and community efforts, visit http://newjersey.imagefirst.com or call 800-932-7472.

Clifton, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/30/2017 -- ImageFIRST, a medical uniform and scrub supplier to NJ-area medical facilities, announced that they have re-launched their guide that explains important information regarding properly sanitizing medical laundry. The white paper is titled "3 Critical Steps To Ensure Clean And Safe Healthcare Laundry," and is available as a free PDF download on ImageFIRST's website at this link.

ImageFIRST states that due to the unique challenges faced by the healthcare industry, home laundering or dry cleaning is not effective enough. Because of issues like the spread of healthcare-acquired infections, hospitals and medical facilities must go above and beyond minimal protocols to ensure that their linens are fully sanitized.

According to ImageFIRST, it is important to have a provider who is familiar with all of the industry's nuances and challenges, and understands how to effectively sanitize and deliver truly clean, safe laundry.

The document aims to give medical professionals insight toward how to best choose their laundry partner, and reviews the most important details to keep in mind as they pertain to sanitization and proper packaging. It also describes why the term "hygienically clean," when used to describe medical linen, is not an effective indicator of actual cleanliness or safety.

"3 Critical Steps To Ensure Clean And Safe Healthcare Laundry" is free and available to anyone who wishes to read it.

With over 50 years of experience, ImageFIRST provides nurses uniforms to medical facilities in New Jersey and across the United States. To learn more about all of the services they offer, please visit the company's website.

Clifton, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/10/2016 -- As one of the fastest-growing industries in the U.S., the healthcare industry requires medical professionals and administrators to search for ways to better adapt their practices to the needs of the modern patient.

In recent years, the torrent of changing technologies has informed the medical industry of a need to better serve their patients. ImageFIRST New Jersey has assisted inpatient and outpatient facilities in those needs through their constant abilities to innovate not only on products like their RFID medical scrubs and uniforms in New Jersey but in the services they provide as well.

A recent study published in the American Journal of Infection Control highlighted the importance of always trying new things to influence an old standard. Researchers discovered a new way to markedly increase the adoption of proper hand hygiene. By placing a message encouraging medical professionals to properly wash their hands in the screen savers of facility computers, researchers discovered that employees were more prone to proper hand hygiene. This was a surprising result given that proper hand-washing techniques are already encouraged by senior staff and required by the facility.

ImageFIRST New Jersey has always found ways to innovate on the old-guard practices of medical laundering services. Whether it's changing how linens are delivered by providing Customer Advocates or introducing Triple BioShield Protection to patient linens, the company has always strived to make a difference in the world of healthcare.

Clifton, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/25/2016 -- A recent news release from the Healthcare Laundry Accreditation Council spoke to the inefficiency of "home" laundering surgical attire. According to the release, there is a "growing body of research that home laundering practices among healthcare workers may fail to eliminate pathogens from garments" and also mentions that "surgical site infections that may result from surgical scrubs purchased and laundered by perioperative personnel."

HLAC's News Release only serves to emphasize the point that a healthcare-accredited commercial facility is the safest option when it comes to ensuring that gowns, linens, scrubs and medical uniforms in NJ are clean and sanitary. The cost analysis of home laundering versus having the linens laundered by an accredited facility should take into account the possible costs of infection and extended troubles that can result following an incident.

The News Release is based on a report that appeared in Periop Briefing, a publication of AORN Journal. Gregory Giewicz, the president of the HLAC board spoke to the efficacy of HLAC Accreditation Standards, saying that an accredited facility "means a laundry has committed to a new level of excellence in the way it processes healthcare textiles and that a laundry has joined in the challenge to reduce healthcare-associated infections." HLAC is a nonprofit organization that inspects and accredits laundries that process healthcare textiles for medical facilities.

Clifton, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/22/2015 -- ImageFIRST New Jersey, one of the leading suppliers of medical scrubs in NJ, is pleased to have recently donated several toys and games to the Bristol Myers Squibb Children's Hospital at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital. In doing so, ImageFIRST New Jersey demonstrated that their mission to improve the overall patient experience is not confined to just adults, nor is it carried out solely through their laundry care services.

The idea of hospitalization can be difficult for the impressionable young mind of a child to grasp. For that reason, it is imperative that charitable organizations donate whatever time and resources they have to alleviate the psychological burdens placed on hospitalized children. In order to rally support for a cause as worthy as this, ImageFIRST New Jersey hosted a BBQ lunch that took place earlier this fall.

Dozens of attendees showed up for the ImageFIRST New Jersey charity BBQ luncheon to benefit RWJ's Children's Hospital. After three months of planning, both ImageFIRST New Jersey and the RWJ Children's Hospital were pleased to be able to distribute several games and toys to the Pediatric Unit, Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, and the Hematology/Oncology Unit. These generous donations are surely going to make the stays of the children who use them much easier.

Clifton, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/19/2015 -- While ImageFIRST may specialize in healthcare laundry, the company's mission is to improve overall patient experience. ImageFIRST manages to do so by going beyond the service and products they provide healthcare facility and also having each of its local branches commit themselves to community-based charities. One of those branches, ImageFIRST New Jersey, did so by participating in a toy and game drive for the new RWJ Children's Cancer Center.

ImageFIRST New Jersey is committed to providing patient gowns to children's hospitals, but the company is also committed to doing whatever it can to help children currently undergoing cancer treatments. That is why the company partnered with the University Surgery Center to collect toys and games for RWJ Children's Cancer Center. The toys and games will be used by the children who are staying at the facility to give them a breath of fresh air and something fun to do while they undergo treatment.

This project took three months of planning on the parts of ImageFIRST New Jersey and University Surgery Center, and it culminated in a BBQ lunch that took place on September 17, 2015. More than 40 people were in attendance. The attendees sifted through and organized the many donations; then, they boxed the toys and games and prepared them for delivery.

In fact, the company would like to shed light on a recent article featured on Becker's Healthcare, which was also based on a study done by two college professors, Claire Senot and Aravind Chandrasekaran, and published in the Harvard Business Review (HBR).

The Becker's Healthcare article, "What factor has the biggest impact on readmission rates?" explained that the findings of the study published in the HBR indicated that the way caregivers communicated with patients had an impact on readmission rates. Furthermore, the study was based on six years of research from almost 3,000 acute-care hospitals. What the two college professors concluded was that hospitals could reduce readmissions by 5% if they worked on communication skills as much as they worked on increasing comfortability.

As a leading healthcare laundry service and linen rental provider, ImageFIRST New Jersey understands how important it is to ensure impeccable communication between their associates and clients, just like their clients should with their patients. One of the ways the company guarantees that communication stays flawless is through the assignment of a Customer Advocate to each of their clients. What's more, each client is granted access to their Customer Advocate's phone number, and can also download the ImageFIRST Instant Service App, which is available for smartphones. If a client needs anything, the app allows them to get in touch with their Customer Advocate or another member of the service team immediately.

When it all comes down to it, ImageFIRST New Jersey has an intense dedication to ensuring that communication is clear between their associates and clients. And, by shedding light on this recent study published in the HBR, they hope that their clients make an effort to improve communication as well.

Clifton, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/31/2015 -- ImageFIRST New Jersey is pleased to announce that they now have a Cubicle Curtain Cleaning Program available for hospitals. ImageFIRST, headquartered in King of Prussia, PA, provides high-quality healthcare laundry services to a wide array of medical institutions all over the continental United States and Puerto Rico. ImageFIRST New Jersey is one of many locations across the U.S. offering this innovative program. Organizations that select this program will be able to improve patient safety through added infection prevention efforts.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), patients in hospitals all over the U.S. contract (at least) one healthcare-associated infection (HAI). What's more, in a study that reviewed the amount of bacteria that was found on hospital curtains, scientists discovered that over 90% of them were contaminated after only a week with multiple bacteria, and that many hospitals do not have robust processes in place to change them.

Regarding HAIs, Jeff Berstein, President of ImageFIRST, had this to say, "HAIs are associated with a variety of risk factors, including transmissions between patients and healthcare workers. Furthermore, recent studies have indicated that almost 20% to 40% of them can be traced back to the caregiver's hands. So, commonly touched surfaces such as cubicle curtains can be problematic."

Healthcare institutions that opt for ImageFIRST's Cubicle Curtain Cleaning Program will be pleased to know that the company will install new special curtains without any up-front cost. After the installation, an ImageFIRST team member will regularly replace the dirty curtains with clean ones, then scan the dirty panels' RFID chips with a hand-held for tracking and documentation. The replaced curtains are sanitized at the local laundry plant.

When hospitals and various other medical institutions are looking for a cost-effective way to keep cubicle curtains clean, ImageFIRST is the company to choose.
