      <title>Fully-Managed Scrub &amp; Lab Coat Solutions Now Available from ImageFIRST</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>High Point, NC -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 02/08/2018 --  This January, ImageFIRST Healthcare Laundry Specialists introduced fully-managed scrub and lab coat solutions to medical facilities nationwide. These programs all rely on the use of UHF RFID technology.<br />
<br />
Medical facilities often struggle managing scrub inventory, which is due to a number of reasons such as staff accidentally wearing scrubs home, insufficient inventory, or having the wrong sizes in stock. To help ensure that medical centers always have the scrubs they need, ImageFIRST turned to UHF RFID technology, providing an innovative way to manage their staff apparel.<br />
<br />
Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a form of wireless communication that uses radio waves to track and identify objects. This proven technology allows for fast scanning of multiple items at once, providing accurate and real-time reporting. UHF stands for Ultra High Frequency, the latest in RFID technology. <br />
<br />
ImageFIRST installs a UHF RFID chip in every scrub and lab coat, enabling clients to track down where missing items are located, manage inventory, minimize loss, and ensure staff accountability. <br />
<br />
Medical facilities can work with ImageFIRST to create their own program by selecting the styles of scrubs and lab coats they want, choosing an inventory management program that fit their needs, picking a storage program, and optionally adding a proactive guarantee. They can also order additional <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="bed sheets for their healthcare center, whether in Mecklenburg, NC" href="http://north-carolina.imagefirst.com/healthcare-bed-linen-nc">bed sheets for their healthcare center, whether in Mecklenburg, NC</a>, or anywhere else in ImageFIRST&apos;s service area. <br />
<br />
ImageFIRST offers scrubs and lab coats from trusted manufacturers. Before the scrubs are delivered at the beginning of the program, each staff member is measured to ensure that all sizing is correct. Clients can also choose if they would like to customize their lab coats or scrubs with embroidery.<br />
<br />
All of ImageFIRST&apos;s programs are designed to alleviate stress for medical staff, allowing them to focus on patient care. Healthcare facilities can turn to ImageFIRST for solutions pertaining to issues of missing scrubs, low inventory, or incorrect sizes.<br />
<br />

<br />
Those who schedule an in-person courtesy assessment of their medical waste services will receive a free month of service or a $35 Visa gift card. <br />
<br />
State regulations require medical facilities to be responsible for the packaging, labeling, and disposal of their medical waste and sharps. Without assistance, this task can become time-consuming and tedious for medical staff. To alleviate the burden, ImageFIRST offers fully-compliant waste disposal services for all customers. <br />
<br />
Customer Advocates, associates of ImageFIRST who act as dedicated representatives to the facilities they serve, package and remove all medical waste on a scheduled basis. These services only require medical facilities to pay for the amount of waste that is being picked up. There are no commitments or complicated invoices involved in the process. ImageFIRST also fulfills all emergency pick-up requests at no extra charge.<br />
<br />
The regulated medical waste services promotion lasts until December 31, 2017. This offer is valid for medical facilities based in North Carolina. For a detailed list of all counties that are eligible for regulated medical waste services, visit <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://imagefirstservices.com/locations" href="http://imagefirstservices.com/locations/">http://imagefirstservices.com/locations</a>/. <br />
<br />
Medical facilities who do not yet have a partnership with ImageFIRST, or current ImageFIRST linen customers who do not have waste disposal services from ImageFIRST, are encouraged to begin this process for waste management.<br />
<br />
The medical waste services promotion is a no-obligation offer. For medical facilities that are already partnered with ImageFIRST for their linen laundry services, the special pricing still applies.<br />

      <title>ImageFIRST Corporate Office Volunteers at MANNA in Philadelphia</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>High Point, NC -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 08/04/2017 --  On June 23rd, a group of associates from ImageFIRST Healthcare Laundry Specialists&apos; Corporate Office volunteered at MANNA, an organization that provides meals for individuals with life-threatening diseases, in Philadelphia.<br />
<br />
MANNA is a non-profit organization that delivers approximately 15,000 meals each week to those with HIV/AIDS, kidney disease and other life-threatening or critical medical conditions. Their research shows that therapeutic nutrition has substantial medical benefits.<br />
<br />
Magali Tranie, Director of Marketing for ImageFIRST, stated that the associates that volunteered carpooled to the location and worked together to turn the community giving event into a team building event as well, as they often do when completing their community service efforts.<br />
<br />
At the event, ImageFIRST associates helped MANNA prepare meals for the day by chopping about 500 pounds of onions and 300 pounds of broccoli. They also assembled over 200 sandwiches. When looking back on the event, one of the associates joked, "Despite the onions, we managed to do it all while only shedding a few tears."<br />
<br />
Before beginning to prepare the meals, associates were given brief lessons on how to properly complete all tasks. One of the chefs who taught the associates how to properly chop the onions was previously featured on a television cooking show, which heightened the experience for the associates.<br />
<br />
The community giving event at MANNA was one of three events that ImageFIRST&apos;s Corporate Office has planned for this summer. As part of fulfilling ImageFIRST&apos;s company Purpose, ImageFIRST locations across the country participate in quarterly community giving events.<br />
<br />
ImageFIRST provides medical linen and laundry services and products such as <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="medical uniforms and scrubs in Raleigh, NC" href="http://north-carolina.imagefirst.com/medical-scrub-uniforms-nc">medical uniforms and scrubs in Raleigh, NC</a>, and other locations throughout the United States.

      <title>ImageFIRST Offers Informational Guide for Healthcare Administrators</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>High Point, NC -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 02/02/2017 --  ImageFIRST, providers of <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="medical uniforms and scrubs in Raleigh, NC" href="http://north-carolina.imagefirst.com/medical-scrub-uniforms-nc">medical uniforms and scrubs in Raleigh, NC</a>, and throughout the US, recently announced the relaunch of their complimentary guide entitled "5 Things You Should Know About Your Medical Linen Laundry Service." <br />
<br />
Available in PDF format, the guide can be downloaded from <a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.imagefirst.com/5-Things-You-Should-Know-About-Your-Medical-Linen-Laundry-Service-" href="http://www.imagefirst.com/5-Things-You-Should-Know-About-Your-Medical-Linen-Laundry-Service-">http://www.imagefirst.com/5-Things-You-Should-Know-About-Your-Medical-Linen-Laundry-Service-</a>. The document clearly and concisely explains the importance of medical linen and laundry service providers that are familiar with the industry&apos;s challenges, and why they are so valuable to healthcare facilities.<br />
<br />
A relatively quick read, the document instructs medical professionals on what to look for when selecting a medical linen service. Also included in the PDF is a checklist for healthcare providers to use when evaluating the service of their choice. <br />
<br />
Due to the unique challenges of the medical industry -- in particular, healthcare acquired infections - many common techniques for in-house laundry of medical linens fall short of being adequate, as do descriptive terms like "hygienically clean." The guide available from ImageFIRST includes recommendations on things to look for when assessing a linen and laundry service, especially when determining how and if they can bolster effective infection prevention.  <br />
<br />
The guide is available to everyone, not just healthcare administrators, to download and read at any time. <br />

      <title>ImageFIRST North Carolina: Wise Words on Becoming a Daymaker</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>High Point, NC -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 10/25/2016 --  ImageFIRST North Carolina has established their local area reputation not only due to the quality of their <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="medical linens in Raleigh, NC" href="http://north-carolina.imagefirst.com/">medical linens in Raleigh, NC</a> and throughout the nation, but because of the exemplary service they provide along with them. The company has consistently innovated their products and practices, using the best ideas of technology to facilitate convenience while maintaining the human element of their business to lend a personal touch to their services. <br />
<br />
Recently, Vice President of the Southeast Region and National Service Director, Jay Juffre, spoke about the approach he takes to inspire others to be service industry leaders. Juffre writes about a small charitable act he would engage in while driving on the turnpike with his children to encourage them to be charitable to others. By paying for the road toll of the driver behind him, Juffre made the message clear to his children: Be kind to others, and strive to make the people whom you may not know a little happier in their daily lives. <br />
<br />
Juffre asks the same behavior of the professionals in the medical services industry. He writes, "We should encourage them to look for ways to be the best part of a person&apos;s day." Juffre believes the implications of this practice may result in more than smiles: "Build a team of Daymakers," he concludes, "and watch your patient satisfaction soar to new heights."<br />

The company has worked tirelessly to improve the patient experience in the medical facilities that they serve, but has done even more by donating their time and resources to the institutions that need them the most. <br />
<br />
In late June, ImageFIRST North Carolina associates traveled to Oak View Elementary School. Schools are always in need of supplies to enrich the education of their students and Oak View is no exception. ImageFIRST North Carolina donated blankets and clean sheets to the art department, as well as other classroom supplies. In addition to the supplies, the company donated a check for $250 to go towards improving the educational experience of the students.  <br />
<br />
For ImageFIRST North Carolina, this is their third community giving event for the quarter. The company emphasizes the importance of giving back and associates regularly go out on missions into the community to do just that. <br />
<br />
Because of the company&apos;s prowess in laundry service, they were able to donate sheets and blankets to the school.  ImageFIRST North Carolina&apos;s linens are free from up to 99.999% of pathogens, well above the industry standard.

The company fosters a working family inside and outside of the company&apos;s four walls.<br />
<br />
Pie Day may officially be March 14th, but after the associates at ImageFIRST North Carolina completed an extensive six-week project, they decided to celebrate their own way. While Pie Day is normally celebrated by eating pie, the associates put their own spin on it. To let off some steam, they threw pies at one another in a pie-throwing competition. The leadership team happily participated, engaging in a food-fight with their fellow associates.<br />
<br />
All in all, pie day was a team building exercise. March 14th will have a different meaning at ImageFIRST North Carolina for many years to come. <br />
<br />

      <title>ImageFIRST North Carolina Celebrates 2016 All Associate Recognition Day by Honoring Associates</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>High Point, NC -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 05/12/2016 --  ImageFIRST North Carolina is much more than a leading provider of patient apparel and <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="medical scrubs and uniforms in Raleigh, NC" href="http://north-carolina.imagefirst.com/medical-scrub-uniforms-nc">medical scrubs and uniforms in Raleigh, NC</a>. The company makes it a point to always give back to the communities that they serve, and honors the individuals who have made the company what it is today. In fact, every year, ImageFIRST locations across the U.S. set aside one special day to acknowledge remarkable associates. This year&apos;s event took place earlier this year, and associates at various locations spent their time receiving recognition and finishing the day with a community giving activity.<br />
<br />
At ImageFIRST North Carolina, exceptional associates were nominated by their peers, and a few were then selected by the leadership team to become an "All Star" associate. Out of the "All Stars," a few of these individuals were then chosen to be on the "Council of Excellence." Winners of that category were then invited on a special trip, and this year&apos;s trip was to Punta Cana, Mexico. Last, but not least, team building activities were held to strengthen the relationships that associates have with one another.<br />
<br />
In addition to Habitat for Humanity and Ronald McDonald House Charities, other organizations that associates throughout the U.S. volunteered at during All Associate Day this year were Back on My Feet, St. Jude&apos;s, and the Boys &amp; Girls Clubs of Philadelphia. In all, this year&apos;s All Associate Day was a success, and the company looks forward to both honoring associates and continuing to volunteer on this special day next year.<br />

      <title>ImageFIRST North Carolina Cooks Dinner at Local Ronald McDonald House</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>High Point, NC -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 04/06/2016 --  Even though ImageFIRST North Carolina provides patient apparel and <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="healthcare uniforms in Charlotte, NC" href="http://north-carolina.imagefirst.com/medical-scrub-uniforms-nc">healthcare uniforms in Charlotte, NC</a>, and surrounding areas, the company also makes it a priority to give back to the communities that they serve. In fact, on February 20, 2016, eight of the company&apos;s associates spent time cooking and serving dinner at their local Ronald McDonald House (RMDH).<br />
<br />
For over four decades, the Ronald McDonald House has offered close-by housing for the families of hospitalized children. The nonprofit organization also provides funds to families who wish to stay together when a child is hospitalized in a different city, and helps families secure medical or dental care for children who live in low-income communities. Today, the organization offers aid to families in many countries all over the globe, and ImageFIRST has sponsored them for nearly three years. Additionally, many ImageFIRST locations across the United States not only volunteer their time at a local RMDH, but they also donate their laundry services.<br />
<br />
The menu that the team prepared that day consisted of Chicken Alfredo, Italian bread with garlic and butter, as well as broccoli and carrots with cheese. What&apos;s more, not only did they help serve dinner, but they also served blueberry and cherry cakes for dessert. In regards to the experience the associates had at the RMDH that day, the office manager had this to say, "This event was the most moving I have experienced at ImageFIRST. When we had downtime for the meal, we were given a tour of the house and listened to many stories about what the RMDH does for our community. We also learned about the history of the home, and the fact that it was once four houses that the RMDH purchased and remodeled to serve 35 families at once." In all, the associates who spent their time serving dinner and touring the RMDH had a memorable experience, and look forward to returning in the future. <br />

      <title>ImageFIRST North Carolina Sheds Light on Patient Experience Improvements Innovation</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>High Point, NC -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 03/03/2016 --  ImageFIRST North Carolina is much more than a provider of <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="medical uniforms, scrubs, patient gowns, and other products in High Point, NC" href="http://north-carolina.imagefirst.com/patient-healthcare-gowns-nc">medical uniforms, scrubs, patient gowns, and other products in High Point, NC</a>, and many other surrounding areas. The company makes it a point to ensure that their clients are informed of all of the latest updates, changes, and recent innovations in the healthcare industry. Additionally, as a company that realizes patients are becoming more demanding and have higher expectations for healthcare facilities, ImageFIRST North Carolina wants both potential and current clients to know that they need to find ways that will help them to continuously improve on the patient experience. In fact, the company would like to shed light on a recent article that detailed how a Michigan Hospital took an innovative approach to improving the experience of the hospital&apos;s staff, patients, and other visitors when it came time to designing the look of their new healthcare facility.<br />
<br />
The article, "New Children&apos;s Hospital Combines Efficiency and Creativity," details how the hospital&apos;s physicians, nurses, and support staff set up a meeting to utilize a "Lean Technique" known as "Integrated Facility Design" to pinpoint what was and was not working at their current healthcare facility. By using this Lean Technique, they were able to find ways that they could streamline processes, as well as implement new processes that could help improve many of the issues that their patients and staff were experiencing at their current facility, and would not have to once the new one was built. In all, ImageFIRST North Carolina recognizes what this Michigan hospital did as being a great example of the innovative approaches that a healthcare facility could take to enhance patient experiences.<br />
<br />
ImageFIRST North Carolina has long been a company dedicated to helping their clients improve the experiences patients have at their facilities. One of the ways that the company helps them to achieve that is by offering an innovative and unbelievably soft Comfort Care line of patient apparel. These plush and soft patient robes are manufactured and then distributed by ImageFIRST North Carolina to help patients feel as if they were staying at a spa, and not a healthcare facility.<br />
<br />
When looking for a company that provides high-quality <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="healthcare gowns in High Point, NC" href="http://north-carolina.imagefirst.com/patient-healthcare-gowns-nc">healthcare gowns in High Point, NC</a>, and other areas, look no further than ImageFIRST North Carolina.

In fact, this remarkable organization also makes it a point to ensure that their clients are informed of all of the latest changes and updates within the healthcare industry. Therefore, ImageFIRST North Carolina would like to shed light on the fact that Press Ganey, a provider of patient experience measurements and surveys, recently wrote a press release on the approval from the Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services (CMS) to conduct the Outpatient and Ambulatory Surgery Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (OAS CAHPS) Survey.<br />
<br />
First off, Press Ganey is no stranger to offering CAHPS surveys, as they already have experience distributing them to thousands of organizations within the United States. However, this new survey, which will begin this upcoming January, will help free-standing ambulatory surgery centers and hospital-based outpatient surgery departments identify where they need to improve patient satisfaction. Furthermore, the new survey has 37 questions where patients will be asked to share their thoughts on the facility&apos;s privacy, cleanliness, and how willing they would be to recommend the facility to another patient. Lastly, organizations that take part in the survey will be required to have at least 300 completed a year.<br />
<br />
<a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="ImageFIRST North Carolina" href="http://north-carolina.imagefirst.com/">ImageFIRST North Carolina</a> provides products and services, such as their Comfort Care line of patient apparel and their "Plush Promise," to aid medical facilities in improving the experience that patients have at their facility. ImageFIRST North Carolina&apos;s Comfort Care line has been proven to improve patient experience by up to 50%. They determine whether or not experience was improved through patient surveys pre- and post-change from their current gowns that they give to their clients to distribute to their patients. If it is determined that patient experience was not improved by up to 50%, ImageFIRST North Carolina will provide them with one free month of service via the Plush Promise. In the end, those who choose to partner with ImageFIRST North Carolina can also expect them to work hard to find ways to assure that patient satisfaction is eventually increased with their Comfort Care line. <br />
<br />
ImageFIRST North Carolina hopes that surgery centers who desire to take part in the 2016 OAS CAHPS consider not only how they can make their facility better, but, if they need help, to improve their look with a company like ImageFIRST North Carolina.<br />
