Denver, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/19/2017 -- This past November, many ImageFIRST Healthcare Laundry Specialists locations nationwide recognized and celebrated veterans of the United States armed forces.

ImageFIRST, a provider of healthcare linen and laundry services in Denver, CO, and across the United States and Puerto Rico, employs veterans at several of their nationwide locations. As a way of honoring current and former members of the military this past November, many ImageFIRST locations participated in food drives, provided gift bags, and designed specially-made sweatshirts for veteran associates.

ImageFIRST locations across the country celebrated veterans' service in a variety of ways. The ImageFIRST Dallas team provided red, white, and blue popcorn bags to all associates, along with posting a framed list of associates and family members who have served in the military.

Meanwhile, the ImageFIRST Chicago location recognized veterans by playing "Patriotic Games," and the Atlanta location assembled gift bags to be delivered to current and former members of the military. The North Carolina and Los Angeles ImageFIRST locations held Veterans Day luncheons, while the LA associates presented homemade shadow boxes to veterans in the area.

In addition to the many forms of recognition in various ImageFIRST locations across the country, the Corporate office invited a former United States Marine, who is currently a police officer, to discuss his experience and answer questions from associates. The presenter and the Corporate office's veteran associate were given custom made sweatshirts; afterwards, ImageFIRST served snacks to all in attendance.

"We wanted to honor what these brave men and women have done for this country," stated Magali Tranie, ImageFIRST's director of marketing. She added, "These celebrations enable us to show our heartfelt appreciation for their service and everything that they do for ImageFIRST."

Denver, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/24/2017 -- ImageFIRST Denver, the healthcare laundry specialists that offer medical scrubs and uniforms in Denver, CO, and surrounding communities, recently highlighted how they provide much more than just medical linen and laundry deliveries to their customers.

In fact, medical facilities that partner with this company will receive a representative, also known as a "Customer Advocate," who is dedicated to the client's success and satisfaction.

The Customer Advocates from ImageFIRST will deliver clean linens to their clients on time and on a regular basis, which is a service that's expected of any linen rental and laundry provider. What separates ImageFIRST from their competitors is the fact that their Customer Advocate will also stock the shelves and help manage the linen inventory on an ongoing basis. Their role is to be a partner and an extension of the facility's team, instead of only being a vendor or delivery driver.

One example of the positive impact the role can have on medical facilities is what Customer Advocate Tim, from ImageFIRST Pittsburgh, did for one of his customers. After he had delivered linen to his customer, Tim found out that his contact had recently had a death in the family. The next time he came to the facility, he also brought her a card and told her how sorry he was for the loss.

Magali Tranie, director of marketing at ImageFIRST, said of the gesture, "Tim's customer was incredibly grateful for the thought. This shows how the Customer Advocates and associates at ImageFIRST will go above and beyond for their customers."

ImageFIRST Denver provides laundry services for healthcare facilities in Denver, CO, and the surrounding areas. To learn more about the nurse uniforms that they provide in Denver, CO, as well as their Customer Advocates, contact them at 800-932-7472.

Denver, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/23/2016 -- ImageFIRST® Denver is a provider of linen rentals and medical scrub uniforms in Pueblo, CO, as well as other areas throughout the nation. Patient satisfaction always remains at the front of their minds, and they understand how crucial a role medical attire plays when creating a positive impression of caring, professionalism and cleanliness for patients. ImageFIRST® provides medical facilities across the country with the softest apparel, so patients and staff can experience complete comfort.

Many commercial laundry companies, especially ones in the healthcare industry, are now claiming that their laundry is "hygienically clean." However, there is no clear definition of what that phrase actually means. Research suggests that "hygienically clean" means the product has been cleaned enough to eliminate most of the pathogens, and the pathogens left, most likely, won't get the patient sick. ImageFIRST® Denver is skeptical in regards to this ambiguous definition. They believe that hygienically clean is not clean enough, so they strive to be more than just hygienically clean.

Whether they are providing medical uniform scrubs in Colorado Springs, CO, or patient gowns in Denver, CO, ImageFIRST® will go beyond the hygienically clean designation. They have introduced EPA-registered sanitizers and bacteriostatic products to increase infection prevention properties in their laundry textiles. Their products also go through routine and rigorous quality assurance testing, which is backed up by third-party independent lab evaluations. This is to make sure staff and patients look good and feel good while being superiorly protected.

To learn more about how ImageFIRST® Denver goes beyond being hygienically clean, contact them at 1-800-932-7472.

Denver, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/24/2016 -- ImageFIRST Denver, a medical laundry, linen and uniform provider for Fort Collins, CO, makes it a priority to share the latest industry news with their customers in healthcare. This month, ImageFIRST Denver has highlighted an article on budget advice that appeared online in Healthcare Facilities Management magazine. The article discusses the important role of environmental services professionals and their budgeting strategies. Among the elements covered by the article that ES professionals must take into consideration, concierge services emerge as one particularly relevant to ImageFIRST Denver and their customers.

Concierge services, which entail providing environmental support to patients (such as anticipating patient needs), should be of particular concern to ES professionals. Studies show that patients tend to remember their experiences with ES professionals more than they do their experiences with medical staff. This means that when considering contracted services and products such as medical linen, laundry, uniforms, and scrubs in Colorado Springs, CO, ES professionals should choose providers who offer budget-line services while creating an exceptional patient experience.

As a nationwide medical laundry and linen provider, ImageFIRST helps busy medical staff, including ES professionals, by taking on much of the workload associated with linen management. ImageFIRST's thoroughness allows ES professionals to focus their energies on other crucial aspects of their jobs. Much of the linen management workload is taken on by ImageFIRST's Customer Advocates. More than just a delivery driver, Customer Advocates not only drop off and pick up linen and gowns, but also restock shelves, ensure the correct levels of inventory, review invoices, and get to know healthcare staff as well as the unique day-to-day workings of the healthcare facility. Additionally, ImageFIRST provides cost-effective solutions including needs-based inventory level based on your patient load, inventory control and adjustment, no hidden charges and emergency delivery for those unexpectedly busy days.

ImageFIRST's products are also designed to create remarkable and memorable patient experiences. Each patient gown is individually wrapped for instant quality assurance. Additionally, all gowns are hand-inspected for imperfections and sanitized to kill up to 99.999% of pathogens, a standard that exceeds industry regulations and contributes to infection prevention efforts at healthcare facilities.

Denver, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/17/2016 -- One of the biggest medical stories of the past few months was the recent transformation of former Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher's appearance. Famously bald throughout his career, Urlacher proudly debuted a full head of hair in public last month, thanks to the help of hair restoration. A video featuring Urlacher before and after his procedure was recently released showing the transformation. The team at ImageFIRST Denver, a medical linen and laundry provider that supplies scrubs and uniforms in Colorado Springs, CO, was thrilled to realize that Urlacher was wearing one of the company's patient gowns throughout.

In the video, the 6'4", 258-lb. Urlacher looked remarkably comfortable in his teal ImageFIRST patient gown as he spoke with his doctors before the procedure. His appearance was a testament to ImageFIRST's dedication to providing comfortable wear in medical facilities for patients of all sizes: ImageFIRST offers a wide selection of gown styles designed to help patients feel at ease during any medical procedure.

Denver, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/26/2016 -- ImageFIRST Denver, a provider of medical linens like scrub uniforms in Pueblo, CO, tirelessly works to improve their customers' ability to create exceptional experiences. Recently, ImageFIRST Denver shared the breaking news of an important upcoming change to patient experience reporting in outpatient and ambulatory surgery centers.

Press Ganey, a major survey distributor, recently announced that the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) approved the administration of a new Outpatient & Ambulatory Surgery CAHPS Survey. The survey is designed to help healthcare providers understand patients' perceptions of the care given at the facility, including the environment, the staff's attention to patient comfort and the patients' overall experience.

CMS' intention is that the thirty-plus questions developed for the survey will act as a more accurate form of quality reporting. The questions are also designed to help healthcare facilities identify ways to improve their performance and boost patient satisfaction.

The survey, which is slated for mandatory national participation in 2017, stands to have a significant impact on ImageFIRST Denver customers who are outpatient or ambulatory surgery centers. Although national implementation is a nearly a year away, facilities have the option to participate voluntarily through an Early Adopter program like the one offered by Press Ganey, an option that ImageFIRST supports. The program allows facilities that implement the survey to see reported data within one quarter. These reports will allow them to gain constructive feedback about how patients view their care experience.

Either way, ImageFIRST customers should expect that their priorities will shift to an intensified focus on patient satisfaction in the coming year, in keeping with current industry trends focusing on improving the patient experience in an increasingly patient-centric and competitive market.

When it comes to improving the patient experience, ImageFIRST Denver can help with high-quality products like medical uniforms in Pueblo, CO. Furthermore, their medical linen and laundry service's system of transparent billing, consistent inventory and round-the-clock customer support, plus remarkably attentive support from dedicated Customer Advocates, is designed to simplify the patient care process.

In particular, different products like ImageFIRST's Comfort Care line have been proven to increase patient satisfaction at healthcare facilities across the nation. Comfort Care patient gowns and robes are made of an incredibly soft, warm and plush material that wraps patients in comfort and lets them know immediately that they are in the hands of a facility that cares about their experience. Additionally, the Comfort Care line, like all ImageFIRST products, is sanitized using the company's Triple BioShield process and hand-inspected for perfect appearance.

In the case of one facility, Chicago's Eastside Medical Center, managers saw not just an improvement in patient perception, but an explosion. Prior to switching to the Comfort Care line, Eastside struggled with positive patient feedback. However, after switching to the Comfort Care line in a push to improve patient experience, the Center saw a remarkable 400% increase in patient perception.

ImageFIRST's Plush Promise guarantees that customers will see an improvement in patient perception. For ambulatory and outpatient surgery centers, taking these measures to make patients feel cared for is invaluable. Learn more at http://denver.imagefirst.com.

Denver, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/18/2015 -- According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's recently released "What You Should Know for the 2015-2016 Influenza Season," a slideshow of frequently asked questions about influenza season in the United States, the yearly flu season is both inevitable and unpredictable. In order to protect themselves, individuals should do their utmost to prevent the spread of flu by following CDC guidelines. ImageFIRST Denver, a provider of sanitized nurse uniforms in Denver, CO, recently shared the specifics of the CDC's report with its clients, just in time for peak flu season, which typically occurs between December and February.

Since the flu virus fluctuates and mutates each year, the body's immune system can't keep up with virus mutation, and vaccines are necessary. The CDC officially recommends a flu vaccine for everyone over the age of 6 months, and advises that they seek vaccination as soon as a vaccine becomes available. This season, both trivalent and quadrivalent vaccines are available (these protect against three and four different strains of virus, respectively). Vaccines are typically available at doctor's offices, clinics, health departments, pharmacies, employers, schools, urgent care clinics and college health care center.

Since neither the timing of the flu virus's appearance nor the types of virus that will emerge during the flu season can be predicted with complete certainty, the CDC recommends that individuals supplement vaccines with other preventative measures. These include frequently washing hands, staying away from sick people and staying home from work or school if they are sick in order to avoid spreading the flu to others.

If already sick, those in "high-risk" categories (i.e. children aged 2 or younger, pregnant women, adults older than 65) should seek antiviral treatment immediately.

As a provider of sanitized medical scrubs and uniforms in Denver, CO, ImageFIRST Denver is committed to helping its clients maintain disease-free environments for both facility staff and patients. Learn more at http://denver.imagefirst.com.

Recently, the renowned consulting group featured ImageFIRST, a medical uniform and linen company in Fort Collins, CO, in their blog to highlight the company's commitment to customer service and the powerful effects of their consistent dedication to the everyday lives of both customers and ImageFIRST associates. ImageFIRST Denver is pleased to share this news with its current customers and those interested in learning more about the difference that ImageFIRST makes.

ImageFIRST is the largest provider of healthcare laundry services in the US. Since the company serves medical facilities exclusively, they are particularly attuned to the specific needs of healthcare providers, and they supply these facilities with high-quality, hand-inspected products that are held to a "bright white" standard and sanitized with a special Triple BioShield Protection process that kills up to 99.999% of pathogens. Plus, with products like the remarkably warm and soft Comfort Care line, ImageFIRST can help improve the patient experience and patients' perception of the facilities they are treated in.

One of the most remarkable differences about ImageFIRST's business model is their treatment of customers. The DiJulius blog notes that ImageFIRST's Customer Advocates, who act as both delivery people and personal support systems for the healthcare facilities that they serve, build strong relationships with their ImageFIRST customers. The blog illustrates this difference with the powerful story of a customer who, during a chat with a customer advocate, realized that the advocate may be unwell. After taking the time to check in on his health, the customer called for immediate medical attention—quite possibly saving the Advocate's life. This story is a testament to the power of the very real relationships that ImageFIRST Denver and other ImageFIRST facilities develop with their customers.

Denver, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/21/2015 -- The Beryl Institute, an organization dedicated to improving the patient experience in healthcare facilities worldwide, recently released its 2015 State of Patient Experience report. The report gathers feedback from 1,561 respondents in 21 countries across the healthcare spectrum. With the report, the Beryl Institute identifies key trends in patient experiences. ImageFIRST Denver, the leading medical linen and garment laundry facility in Colorado, recently shared the report with its clients to highlight the importance of patient feedback and satisfaction in the operation of medical facilities.

Over the past several years, the consumer voice has enjoyed greater importance in healthcare. According to the Beryl Institute report, from 2011 to 2015 the investment in patient experience staff grew from 13% to 42%, the most dramatic illustration of an overall trend of growth. The survey also found that healthcare saw a greater engagement of patient and family input, with the use of patient and family advisory committees, bedside surveys and feedback, and patient and family focus groups.

Patient satisfaction is at the heart of ImageFIRST Denver's promise to their clients; their Comfort Care products are guaranteed to improve patient perception of a facility by 50% or the facility will receive one month of free service. The Comfort Care patient gowns and robes are made from a plush, luxurious microfiber material unlike any other medical gown material that patients have experienced. These robes and gowns are designed for key elements of patient comfort like ample fit, modesty, warmth and soft texture.

ImageFIRST's Comfort Care line recently transformed a medical facility in Georgia. At the Eastside Medical Center, an inpatient/outpatient facility with 310 beds and 450 physicians on staff, only 20% of patients had a favorable impression of the facility. After switching to ImageFIRST's Comfort Care line, patient perception skyrocketed to 100%--a 500% increase. These kinds of drastic improvements in patient experience have happened for ImageFIRST clients nationwide.

Denver, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/21/2015 -- This past July, an article by Karen Lillis in Infection Control Today analyzed an Irish study of how workplace culture in healthcare facilities affects hand hygiene. Entitled "Workplace Culture Impacts Hand Hygiene Compliance," the article examined the multiple factors that motivated healthcare workers to follow hand hygiene procedures, and also detailed how their perception of their work environment affected their compliance. ImageFIRST Denver, a laundry and linen service that works exclusively with healthcare facilities, has shared this article with its clients.

As a service with years of experience managing and laundering healthcare linen inventories, ImageFIRST of Denver is well aware of the unique challenges that face healthcare facilities. These challenges include preventing the spread of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) and managing patients' perceptions of the facility. The recent Infection Control Today article lays out several factors that impact healthcare workers' hand hygiene, which in turn influences patients' experience at a healthcare facility.

According to the article, four key factors help to increase hand hygiene compliance in a workplace. First, workers who have sufficient resources to comply with hygiene, such as adequately stocked dispensers of hand sanitizer, are more likely to comply. They are also more likely to comply when their place of work takes care to adequately educate them about proper handwashing procedures. In addition, employees who work in a facility where hand hygiene and its effects are closely monitored will make a greater effort to maintain hand hygiene. Finally, an organizational culture that supports and encourages the aforementioned factors will see an increase in employee compliance, as well as the results of widespread hand hygiene compliance, including greater patient satisfaction.

ImageFIRST Denver hopes that this information will assist its clients in their mission to provide remarkable care to all of their patients. The company's linen and laundry service includes built-in measures to provide sanitary products to outpatient facilities, including robust cleaning and sanitization processes and hygienic sealing of all linens and garments in plastics.
